The Championship tie at The City Ground on Saturday sees hosts Nottingham Forest do battle with Derby County, and we have the latest player updates plus predicted line ups available.
Nottingham Forest will want to continue from where they left off last time out with a 0-1 Championship success versus Millwall. It seems likely that The Reds will possibly line up in a 3-5-2 formation for the game featuring Brice Samba, Joe Worrall, Steve Cook, Scott Mckenna, Djed Spence, Ryan Yates, Lewis Grabban, James Garner, Jack Colback, Brennan Johnson and Keinan Davis.
Rodrigo Ely, Max Lowe and Alex Mighten won’t be able to feature for Forest manager Steve Cooper.
How Nottingham Forest might line up to take on Derby County
Derby County come into this encounter following a 2-0 Championship win with the eclipse of Sheffield United in their previous fixture. We believe The Rams could decide to utilise a 4-3-3 lineup with a starting lineup of Ryan Allsop, Nathan Byrne, Richard Stearman, Curtis Davies, Craig Forsyth, Jason Knight, Max Bird, Liam Thompson, Festy Ebosele, Colin Kazim-Richards and Tom Lawrence.
Thanks to a largely healthy squad, there is just a single fitness worry for the Derby County manager Wayne Rooney to contend with. Krystian Bielik (Torn knee ligament) won’t be in action. Tom Lawrence will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.
