Stuart Pearce could reportedly be sacked as the manager of Nottingham Forest if the club lose their next match against Derby County.
The Reds had enjoyed a good start to the season, but they are now 13th in the Championship table and have lost their last four games.
According to The Mirror, Pearce believes that he will be sacked at the weekend if his side fall to a defeat in the East Midlands derby.
Forest have not won in their past eight games, with their last victory coming against Wolverhampton Wanderers in mid-November.
