Derby County
Norwich CityDerby County
The Rams have has a fantastic season so far and Gary Rowett’s men are unbeaten in their last 11 Championship matches and with Rowett having committed his long term future to the club the outlook looks bright. They currently sit in 2nd place – 11 points behind runaway leaders Wolves and only a point clear of the chasing pack below them and it would appear that automatic promotion is their priority this season. Matej Vydra is prolific at Championship level and he has notched 17 goals already this season in what has been another sensational campaign for the Czech international.
Norwich
Daniel Farke looks to be acclimatising to life in English football and he has guided the Canaries to 13th place in the Championship – having only lost one of their last 9 matches. The Canaries have picked up 43 points from their opening 30 games and could sneak a play-off place if things go their way – 8 points off play off positions. Josh Murphy has notched 8 goals this season for Norwich and how he would love to add to that total at Pride Park.

Norwich City edge the head to head between the teams 28:20 whilst another 17 games between the sides have ended as draws. Derby picked up a crucial away win at Carrow Road back in October, winning 2-1 thanks to goals from David Nugent and Sam Winnall.
