Take a look back at some classic shots of Derby County's stand-out moments at the City Ground in the lead-up to Sunday's local derby at Forest, right here on www.dcfc.co.uk.
Throughout this week, dcfc.co.uk will be delving into the archives to take a look back at some of the Rams’ most memorable moments at the City Ground, the home of Nottingham Forest, in pictures ahead of this weekend’s trip across Brian Clough Way.
Steve McClaren’s Rams and Stuart Pearce’s Reds will lock horns on Sunday 14th September (1:15pm) in the Sky Bet Championship.
The fourth image of the week is Kris Commons celebrating his winning goal, against his former club, as Derby came from 2-0 down to win an FA Cup Fourth Round Replay against Forest in the 2008/09 season.

Nottingham Forest 2-3 Derby County
Wednesday 4th February 2009
Derby County fought back from two goals down to beat local rivals Nottingham Forest and set up an FA Cup fifth round encounter with Manchester United. Forest got off to a stunning start as Chris Cohen lashed in a left-foot shot and Nathan Tyson scored from the spot after Stephen Bywater brought him down. But Rob Hulse headed home Gary Teale's cross and Paul Green nodded in another Teale centre to level it for Derby. They won it when ex-Forest star Kris Commons struck with a 20-yard drive.
