It's a break from Sky Bet League One action for Derby County on Sunday as they take on divisional rivals Barnsley in the Third Round of the Emirates FA Cup (12:30pm kick-off).
The Rams go into the encounter 15 games unbeaten in all competitions and will be looking to extend that run with passage into the Fourth Round.
In the lead-up to the cup tie getting underway, dcfc.co.uk has brought together all the key information you need to know…
Team News
James Chester (calf) has suffered a set-back in his recovery and will be unavailable for Sunday. The defender picked up the injury in the pre-match warm-up ahead of Monday's 4-0 home win over Accrington Stanley after being named on the bench.
Defender Curtis Davies and striker James Collins both missed the home clash against Accrington with minor knocks but are both back in training and available for selection.
Goalkeeper Joseph Anang is continuing to recover from the arm injury he sustained back in August after joining on loan from West Ham United and featured for the Under-21s in their Premier League 2 - Division 2 clash at Southampton on Friday night.
Richie Barker's Thoughts
Assistant Head Coach Richie Barker spoke to RamsTV ahead of Sunday's cup tie.
He said: "Bizarrely I think the older you are, the more important the FA Cup is. I think the magic of it may be lost a little on the younger ones.
"Unfortunately now the Champions League or staying in the Premier League has kind of leapfrogged the importance of the competition but it's still a trophy and it's the oldest cup competition in the world and one of the most famous too.
"It should still send out those exciting vibes to fans and players and it's something a bit different. It gives you an opportunity to do something you may not normally get."
From The Dressing Room
Louie Sibley sat down with RamsTV to preview Sunday's FA Cup clash.
He said: "It means a lot to everyone. If we can beat Barnsley and can go on to a big tie, it would be great for the fans and the club. Going on runs can help you in the league too and if we keep playing the way we have then there's no reason why we can't go on a good one."
Match Officials
Sunny Gill will be the man in charge for Sunday's FA Cup Third Round clash and will be assisted by Richard Morris and Anthony Da Costa.
Darren Drysdale is on fourth official duties on the day.
Gill has been the man in the middle for 19 games so far in this campaign but this weekend will mark the first time this season he's taken charge of a Rams fixture.
Across those 19 matches he has distributed 67 yellow cards, one red card and awarded five penalties.

FA Cup Format
In rounds up to and including the Fourth Round, fixtures resulting in a draw over the course of 90 minutes will go to a replay at the away side.
If the replay once again ends in a draw after 90 minutes, extra-time will be played and then if necessary, a penalty shoot-out.
Since 2016/17, ties have been settled on the day from the Quarter-Finals onwards with the use of extra-time and penalties.
From 2018/19, any tie from the Fifth Round onwards is now also settled by the use of extra-time and penalties rather than a replay.
FA Cup Substitute Rules
In the FA Cup, each club is permitted to name up to nine substitutes on their team sheet, of whom not more than five may take part in the cup tie.
Each club is only permitted a maximum of three opportunities to make substitutions during the game, although clubs may make substitutions at half time and any that are made will not count towards the maximum of three opportunities
