Nottingham Forest vs. Derby County – Live Stream, Team News and Championship Match Preview

Nottingham Forest vs.Derbytakes place tonight in the Championship.

The game takes place at the City Ground and is scheduled to start at 19:30 GMT.

Team News:

Nottingham Forest are boosted by the returns of Henri Lansbury and David Vaughan from suspension.

But Michael Mancienne (knee) and Robert Tesche (foot) are likely to miss out.

Derby have George Thorne back from suspension, but Craig Forsyth (knee) is sidelined.

What they’ve said ahead of kick-off:

Nottingham Forest boss Dougie Freedman:”There is enough confidence in the dressing room, and from myself, to say it will change.

“Pressure only comes from within. I am desperate to succeed for this club. No one will give me more pressure than I do on my myself.

“When these setbacks do come along, we must take them as a challenge and make sure we overcome them and not run away – and the players are certainly doing that.”

Derby County chairman Mel Morris(on head coach Paul Clement):“If you look at what we are trying to build at Derby, I think Alex Ferguson defined the culture and the philosophy at Manchester United because he had that long-term tenure.

“I am not sure of the background and how much of that came from the club, but he became the way the club operated.

“In a similar way, here Paul has an opportunity to help shape how we run this club and I would like that, providing he has a strong enough hand in doing that with us, that he will help build something he would want to stay with.

“And at the age Paul is at, then why not?”
