FT: Nott'm Forest 1-1 Derby
Image source, Rex FeaturesNottingham Forest and Derby's slow starts to the season continued as they shared the points in Friday night's East Midlands derby.
Martyn Waghorn gave the visitors the lead with a long range free-kick before Lyle Taylor equalised for the hosts after the break.
The point means the two teams remain just above the Championship relegation zone with just two wins between them from 14 games this season.

Watford v Bournemouth (12:30 BST)
Image source, Rex FeaturesWatford and Bournemouth fans could have been forgiven for entering this season with a fair amount of trepidation after relegated from the Premier League in July.
However, both have made starts to allay any pre-season concerns with just one defeat between them from 12 matches.
Victory for either would send them into the Championship's top two, albeit having played a game more.
After that we've got 10 more games from the second tier plus plenty of action from Leagues One and Two.
Good afternoon and welcome to Saturday's EFL live text.
