Nottingham Forest host Derby County at the City Ground in the EFL Championship on Saturday, with both sides having contrasting seasons so far.
Nottingham Forest are currently 10th in the league, five points off the top six. Steve Cooper's side have been in good form of late, having won their last two games on the trot without conceding. They will look to carry that momentum into the game against Derby on Saturday.
Derby County have been flying of late and are unbeaten in their last five league games. Wayne Rooney's side are currently 23rd in the league and will be heading into the game off the back of a 2-0 win against Sheffield United. They will hope to extend their unbeaten streak with a win against Forest on Saturday.
Both sides have been in good form of late and that should make for a well-contested matchup.
