Play-off chasing Derby have no new injury concerns for the visit of Sky Bet Championship high-fliers Cardiff on Tuesday, live on Sky Sports Football from 7.30pm.
Derby boss Gary Rowett reported some sore legs after the home defeat to Middlesbrough, and Craig Forsyth, Marcus Olsson and Bradley Johnson will be among those checked after not playing for several weeks before Saturday.
Andreas Weimann could return to the starting line-up after being restricted by a shoulder injury ahead of the Middlesbrough game. Joe Ledley will also be hoping for a recall against his former club after dropping to the bench on Saturday.
Callum Paterson could return as Cardiff seek to cement the second automatic promotion spot. Paterson featured for only the final three minutes of Saturday's win against Nottingham Forest after boss Neil Warnock had considered his recent workload.
Sol Bamba should also start after proving his fitness in the second half of the Forest win following a groin problem. Lee Peltier will be assessed after a heavy fall on the weekend, but Craig Bryson is ineligible to play against his parent club.
Derby have won only one of their last six home Championship matches against Cardiff (D2 L3), losing 4-3 last season.
The Bluebirds have kept one clean sheet in their last 10 league visits to Pride Park, a 3-0 win in November 2011.
The two Championship meetings between Gary Rowett and Neil Warnock have both ended goalless, between Birmingham and Rotherham in February 2016 and in this reverse fixture in September.
The Rams haven't lost four league games in a row since a run of five back in November 2011.
No side has won more games on a Tuesday in the Championship this season than Cardiff (7, level with Fulham).
Dave Nugent hasn't scored in three consecutive league games since January 2014, with Leicester.
Now this game will have a bit of needle behind it after what happened when the original fixture was supposed to take place! Neil Warnock is generally fired up at the best of times but he'll be even more desperate to get one over Derby now.
Derby can get themselves back into the play-offs with three points at Pride Park, but with the way they've been performing lately I just can't see that happening. Cardiff win for me
David Prutton predicts: 1-2 with Kenneth Zohore to score first (35/1 with Sky Bet)
