Nottingham Forest will be hoping to pick up from where they left off before the international break, as they prepare to return to league action this weekend.
The Reds defeated arch rivals Derby County by a goal to nil at the City Ground last time out, ensuring that they would sit within touching distance of the automatic promotion places heading into the winter period.
Forest, who have won their last two league games, sit fifth in the Sky Bet Championship table, with two tough away trips on the horizon for Sabri Lamouchi's side.
This weekend, they travel to Ashton Gate to face a Bristol City side that sit level on points with the Reds, occupying sixth spot in the Sky Bet Championship table.
It's bound to be a tough test for Lamouchi's men - the Robins have been defeated only twice this season, and haven't lost on their home turf since their opening day defeat to Leeds United.
With a trip to QPR following shortly after, you feel that these two games will show exactly where Forest are in their hunt for promotion.
Forest's players have been back in training this week preparing for the two away games, and it's not been the warmest of conditions for them to say the least.

The Verdict
These next two games will be absolutely massive for Forest in their bid for promotion to the Premier League.
They have already defeated struggling sides, the likes of Luton Town and Barnsley, but two away games against two promotion rivals will be hard for the Reds.
If they can get four points out of a possible six, I think Forest fans would definitely be happy with that return.
