NEW PADDY POWER CUSTOMERS GET A £10 RISK FREE FIRST BET - MONEY BACK IN CASH IF IT LOSES!** This is the first meeting between old East Midlands rivals of the 2019-20 season, with both clubs changing their managers over the summer. The hosts have had a mixed start to the season, but are moving up the table and are unbeaten since their opening weekend defeat to West Brom. Since then, they've been the only side to take a point from Leeds, away at Elland Road, and have since beaten Birmingham 3-0 and a surprise 2-1 victory over promotion favourites Fulham. Forest also beat Derby 1-0 in the last meeting between these two sides, with Martin O'Neill coming out on top over Frank Lampard. That ended a run of six games unbeaten for Derby in this fixture, but they have struggled for goals against Forest of late. They've failed to score in their last three games, with a total of just one goal over the last three meetings, which have been tense, tetchy and lacking chances. Derby have failed to record a league win since their opening weekend victory over Huddersfield, drawing three and losing one in the league, the latest a 1-1 draw with West Brom at the weekend. Both managers have fully fit squads to choose from, but this being the cup, expect plenty of rotation.
We're recommending you back another tight, low-scoring encounter. A goalless draw is certainly on the cards.
