Derby County and Bristol City meet on Tuesday evening in Championship action at Pride Park. Sitting eighth and eleventh in the table respectively, both sides have had a mixed start to the season and will be looking for a win here.
Both Derby and Bristol City approach this match looking for their second win of the season, with Derby remaining unbeaten under Phillip Cocu so far and Bristol City having the full spread of a win, draw and loss from their three games so far.
Cocu's men started the season in fine form, going away to Huddersfield and winning 2-1 thanks to a brace from Tom Lawrence, but they've since been frustrated in back-to-back draws against Swansea (0-0) and most recently on Saturday against Stoke (2-2), with striker Martyn Waghorn scoring twice at the Bet365 Stadium.
Lawrence and Waghorn will likely start together in a front three for the Rams, alongside Florian Jozefzoon. Summer signing from Arsenal Krystian Bielik could be due a full debut after impressing from the bench on the weekend, partnering the veteran club servant Richard Keogh in the backline.
Elsewhere, Andre Wisdom remains out for the foreseeable future and has been joined on the sidelines by teenage right-back Jayden Bogle, one of the rising stars of the Championship.
Visitors Bristol City have done well to respond to an opening day 3-1 defeat to Leeds, in which they were second best to Marcelo Bielsa's favourites for promotion. The Whites then added insult to injury by gazumping them to to the signature of Arsenal starlet Eddie Nketiah.
Lee Johnson has reportedly been in the market for a new centre-forward throughout the summer, and has eventually ended up with Stoke loanee Benik Afobe, who scored on his second appearance for the club, Bristol City's 2-0 win over QPR on Saturday, their first three points of the season.
Expect Afobe to start once again as part of the Robins' new-look spine; Hungarian midfielder Adam Nagy made quite the impression at the base of midfield and also getting his name on the scoresheet, while former Chelsea centre-half Tomas Kalas will command a three-man backline.
We recommend going with another draw here, with two evenly-matched sides with a penchant for tieing games thus far.
