Nottingham Forest

Last updated: Mon 25 February 2019 23:24
In Brief

Forest in more frustration at Preston. Michael Hefele, Michael Dawson, Tobias Figueiredo, Hillal Soudani, Juan Fuentes and Sam Byram injured. Adlene Guedioura and Matt Cash doubtful.

Looking Back

Two straight draws for Nottingham Forest and they are slightly frustrated with life at the moment and will feel they should be winning more games than they are.

Disappointing goalless draw at Preston last time out and had a debatable goal disallowed.

Looking Ahead

Big injury list with Michael Hefele, Michael Dawson, Tobias Figueiredo, Hillal Soudani, Juan Fuentes and Sam Byram all still missing.

Adlene Guedioura and Matt Cash are both rated doubts.

Points of Interest

Have eight wins, four draws and four losses on home soil this season.

Derby County

Last updated: Mon 25 February 2019 23:24
In Brief

Derby in poor defeat to Millwall. Marcus Olsson, Craig Forsyth, Curtis Davies and Mason Mount injured. Scott Carson still out. Tom Lawrence doubtful. Scott Carson could be back.

Looking Back

Dreadful performance to lose 1-0 at home to Millwall on Wednesday as they failed to offer much in attack.

That ended a four game unbeaten run as Rams remain outside the top six.

Looking Ahead

Bound to consider changes given how bad Wednesday's display was.

Lengthy injury list with Marcus Olsson, Craig Forsyth, Curtis Davies and Mason Mount all sidelined. Tom Lawrence remains a major doubt.

Could though be boosted by the return of keeper Scott Carson.

Points of Interest

Have six wins, four draws and six losses on road this season. Drew 0-0 at home to Nottingham Forest earlier in season.
