Despite their impressive start to the season, Christiansen says that there is still work to be done, particularly in a defensive sense.

"We have to defend better (than against Ipswich)," he said. "Neil Warnock will do everything he can to win and motivate his players.

"This is a game against his former club, and for sure he'll want the three points."

Elsewhere on Tuesday night, Aston Villa will be hoping to make it three wins in a row when they travel to Burton. Steve Bruce's side have been climbing the table and currently find themselves in ninth, two points off the play-offs.

Brentford finally got their first win of the season on Saturday and they'll hope to maintain their positivity at home to Derby, while Bolton - the side beaten by the Bees - are still without a win as they prepare to visit Bristol City.
