Derby County are back in Sky Bet League One action when they welcome Shrewsbury Town to Pride Park Stadium on Saturday (3pm kick-off).
The Rams are looking to make it three wins in a row following back-to-back victories against Cheltenham Town and Charlton Athletic in their previous two outings.
In the lead-up to the game getting underway, dcfc.co.uk has brought together all the key information you need to know...
Team News
Winger Corey Blackett-Taylor missed the 1-0 victory at Charlton Athletic last weekend with a knock but could come back into contention.
Fellow winger Nathaniel Mendez-Laing (foot) was replaced in the first half at Charlton after suffering a nasty blow to his foot and will be assessed on Friday as to whether he is able to be involved this weekend or not.
Striker Conor Washington (ankle) is back on the grass after a long period out of action but Saturday is expected to come too soon for him.
Defender Craig Forsyth (calf) remains although it is hoped he will resume training at some stage this month.
Striker Martyn Waghorn (calf) remains out after suffering a setback in his rehabilitation.
Striker Tyreece John-Jules (hamstring) suffered a severe tear in the defeat against Reading last month that will keep him out of action for the rest of the season.
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 sat down with RamsTV to preview his side's return to Pride Park.
He said: "Paul Hurst has done a brilliant job at Shrewsbury before and they've got a good squad of players now. I know it will be a tough game, they always are. It will be nice to see him but nice to see him at 5pm, though!"
Defender Eiran Cashin spoke to RamsTV ahead of Saturday's match.
He said: "We always had our aims and our ambitions but to see yourself in the top two and realise if we keep going and keep working, then we could actually be up there. You start to see the rewards with it. The fact you can see it physically is a nice feeling and we want more of that."
