Derby County will play their final home game before Christmas when they welcome Portsmouth to Pride Park Stadium for a Friday night Sky Bet Championship clash under the lights (8pm kick-off).

Opponents Portsmouth also played out a goalless draw, at home to Norwich City, on Tuesday. John Mousinho’s side will also be buoyed by a 3-0 win over Bristol City last Saturday - their third win of the season in the league.
