New date for Nottingham Forest's clash with arch-rivals Derby County as games picked for TV

Nottingham Forest’s Championship clash with arch-rivals Derby County has been rescheduled after being selected for live TV coverage.

The Reds were due to face their bitter enemies at Pride Park on Saturday, February 27.

But that has now been moved to Friday, February 26, with a 7.45pm kick-off.

GARIBALDI RED: How well is Chris Hughton managing Alex Mighten's development?

The match will be shown live on Sky Sports.

The two sides drew 1-1 in the reverse fixture at the City Ground earlier this season, with Lyle Taylor cancelling out Martyn Waghorn’s opener to secure a point for the hosts.

Two more of Forest's league fixtures next month have also been picked for TV broadcast on Sky Sports.

Chris Hughton's side will host Bournemouth on Saturday, February 13 - now with an earlier 12.30pm kick-off.

And the Reds' trip to Rotherham United will been shown live as well. That remains a 7.45pm kick-off on Tuesday, February 23.

Before then, Forest have an FA Cup tie at Swansea City tomorrow, when they will be looking to put a midweek defeat to Middlesbrough behind them.

That is followed by a home game with Barnsley next Saturday, with trips to face Coventry City and Wycombe Wanderers beyond that.
