Derby County will face Coventry City on the road in the Sky Bet Championship on Wednesday night (7:45pm kick-off).
The Rams will be looking to return to winning ways after their four-game unbeaten run was ended by Stoke City in 2-1 loss at the bet365 Stadium on Saturday.
Derby picked up three points in a 2-0 win against Queens Park Rangers before the last international break at Pride Park Stadium, as well as playing out three 1-1 draws against Millwall, Oxford United and Hull City. Paul Warne’s side sit 14th in the Championship table after 13 games, with 15 points.
Coventry City also have 15 points but sit one place above Derby in the league table on goal difference. Mark Robins’ team come into Wednesday’s fixture off the back of a 3-0 win over Middlesbrough on Teesside on Saturday.
