Gary Rowett says he picked his Derby County team to face Nottingham Forest 'days ago'

Rowett will have to make at least one change as midfielder Bradley Johnson is suspended after picking up his fifth booking of the season

ary Rowett says he picked his Derby County team to face arch rivals Nottingham Forest this weekend "days ago".

Of course, the Rams boss would not reveal his line-up for Sunday's Sky Bet Championship clash at Pride Park Stadium (1.15pm) - but added there was no doubt in his mind about his starting XI.

Derby held leaders Cardiff City to a goalless draw in Wales last time out a fortnight ago.
