Derby County are back on home soil on Saturday when they welcome Bolton Wanderers to Pride Park Stadium (3pm kick-off).


One point and one place in Sky Bet League One separates the sides ahead of Saturday's game with both teams gunning for automatic promotion to the Championship, with Derby sitting second and Bolton in third.


In the lead-up to the game getting underway, dcfc.co.uk has brought together all the key information you need to know...

Team News


Midfielder Max Bird remains out after injuring his calf in training last week.


Fellow midfielder Tyrese Fornah has missed the last couple of matches with a back issue but could come into contention this weekend.

Defender Ryan Nyambe has had an operation on his damaged quad, sustained in February, which will keep him out of action for the remainder of the campaign.

Goalkeeper Josh Vickers is progressing well on the road to recovery from a quad problem but is yet to return to full training with the squad.


Striker James Collins remains out of action after being sidelined with a knee injury in the 3-0 victory at Exeter City in February but is stepping up his workload.

Striker Conor Washington (knee) is back training with the squad, for the first time since November, but won't be involved this weekend.

Striker Tyreece John-Jules suffered a hamstring tear in the defeat against Reading in January that will keep him out of action for the rest of the season.


Long-term absentee Jake Rooney remains out after suffering a ACL knee injury in September and remains a way off a return to full training, although he is making excellent progress.

Pre-Match Thoughts

Head Coach Paul Warne spoke to RamsTV ahead of Saturday's clash with the Trotters.


He said: "It will come down to the smallest of moments, I've said it from the start of the season. If all the teams win their games in hand, there are literally four of us with two points difference and just eight games left. It will come down to the smallest thing and then it will be the lottery of the play-offs for those who are lucky enough to be in it."

Skipper Conor Hourihane spoke to RamsTV to preview this weekend's match against Bolton.


He said: "We know it's a big game, you can't get away from it. Peterborough play Portsmouth as well on Saturday, so it will be a big weekend for the top four or five teams. If we can get the result that we all want, it will give us a real good platform going into the last seven games. Everyone is looking forward to it."
