It will be the 106th competitive meeting between Nottingham Forest and Derby County this weekend, when the two old rivals battle it out at the City Ground in the Championship.
The Reds and Rams have both experienced differing starts to the league season but despite Forest sitting fifth, 10 places above Derby in the table, just four points separate both clubs, such is the crazy nature of the division.
Both clubs faced each other in a Carabao Cup tie at the City Ground in August, with Forest running out 3-0 winners, though there were plenty of changes from Sabri Lamouchi and Phillip Cocu.
The starting line-ups of both teams will look markedly different come 12:30pm on Saturday, however, we wanted to know what a combined XI would look like if you could pick players from each end of the A52.
Would it favour Forest or would it side with Derby?
We tasked Barry Cooper and Steve Nicholson, from Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire Live respectively, to discuss and come up with a line-up from both clubs based on the recent teams selected by Lamouchi and Cocu.
Here’s what they came up with...
And you can watch them discuss the team in the video below:
