The strike action is part of a programme of industrial action affecting 18 train companies between Monday, January 29 and Tuesday, February 6.
The train firm said the staggered approach by the union is designed to create wide-ranging disruption and cancellations across the network.
Will Rogers, managing director of East Midlands Railway, said: “This approach from the ASLEF union means different parts of the network and different train operating companies are affected at different times. Unfortunately, this will mean customers could be impacted by a complicated period of possible delays and disruption.
“We cannot run any services on Saturday, February 3 – while our services will also be busy on either side of this day.
“Customers are advised to check our website to understand how their whole journey is affected before setting off and can expect possible disruption or late notice cancellations.”
