Derby are the odds-on favourites to be relegated from the Championship this season, with Wayne Rooney having recently been hit by the blow that Colin Kazim-Richards will be missing for several months and the odds are firmly stacked against the Rams when it comes to preventing the Midlands club from dropping down to League One.

Nevertheless, the supporters will be out in force to cheer on their team and it’s clear that this side still have the capability to attack their opponents, with Derby having found the net in all of their clashes at the time of writing. Jack Stretton came off the bench to score what looked like the winner at Peterborough before they came storming back.

Middlesbrough will be sniffing blood when they head to Pride Park, with Neil Warnock’s side following up a 1-1 draw away to title favourites Fulham with a victory over Bristol City and it’s easy to see why the Teeside club are strong favourites to win this particular clash.

Former Rotherham midfielder Matt Crooks is a class act operating in an attacking position for a physical side who should be able to get among the goals in this encounter.
