Derby County make the short trip to the City Ground this Monday as they take on Nottingham Forest in a crunch local derby game.

Both teams are in and around the play-off places, and a win for either side will be a massive boost to their hopes of gate crashing the top six in the Championship.

For Frank Lampard, it is a chance for Derby to keep up their impressive recent record against the Reds, with the Rams undefeated since a 1-0 loss all the way back in 2015.

With Forest no doubt keen to put that record to bed under new manager Martin O'Neill, Lampard will be hoping for some big performances from his key men, and one player he needs at his best is loanee winger Harry Wilson.

Despite being mega impressive this season for the Rams, Wilson put in an abject performance in the mid-week loss against Millwall, and if the Rams are to get something at the City Ground, the winger needs to be at his brilliant best.

The Liverpool man is more than capable too, and has produced the spectacular on more than one occasion for Lampard and his charges this term.

In a game which could be tight and settled with a moment of magic, Wilson is the sort of player who Derby will turn towards to produce said moment.

Rams fans, and Lampard, will be hoping the Millwall game was a one-off for Wilson, and that he get back to his frightening best in the game with Forest and guide his team to a much needed three points.

Derby fans, agree? Let us know in the comments!
