Derby County return to Sky Bet League One action on Saturday afternoon when they travel to Lincolnshire to take on Lincoln City at the LNER Stadium (3pm kick-off).
The Rams left it late to claim all three points in their 3-2 home win against Burton Albion last time out and will look to maintain their fine run of form, having picked up 10 wins from the last 12 matches, against the Imps.
In the lead-up to the match getting underway, dcfc.co.uk has brought together all the key information you need to know...
Team News
Defender Craig Forsyth (calf) will remain out for Saturday's match with Head Coach Paul Warne expecting him to be out of action for around four weeks.
Striker Martyn Waghorn (calf) suffered a slight setback in his rehabilitation programme last week but it is hoped he isn't too far away from a return.
Defender Ryan Nyambe is away on international duty and will be unavailable for the next few weeks due to taking part in the Africa Cup of Nations tournament with Namibia.

Long-term absentee Jake Rooney (knee) remains ruled out of action but is making good progress in his rehabilitation work.
Pre-Match Thoughts
Head Coach Paul Warne spoke to RamsTV ahead of the trip to Lincoln.
He said: "We will try and work out the best system with the best players and, as always, go on the front foot.
"We will go to Lincoln and try to win. We aren't going to sit behind the ball, we aren't going for a point, we are going there for the full lot and that's what we will prepare the lads for."
Defender Curtis Nelson previewed the return to Sky Bet League One action when he spoke to RamsTV on Thursday morning.
He said: "We know where we want to be points wise come the end of the season, but it could be a high total because everyone keeps winning at the top and there doesn't seem to be any let off.
"We just have to be relentless in what we do and keep winning the game ourselves."
