The Season So Far...
Derby's
Under-23s saw their relegation to Premier League 2 - Division 2 confirmed with a 2-1 loss at Leicester City last month.
Pat Lyons' side have fought strongly against the drop all season but, with several Under-23s players making the step up to the first-team squad over the season, it has been a challenge to pick up results owing to a youthful and threadbare squad.
Derby have picked up four wins, three draws and 18 defeats from their 25 outings this term, earning them a total of 15 points at the bottom of the table.
Crystal Palace sit eighth in the league table, with 11 wins, three draws and 11 defeats from 25 matches, and they were 3-2 winners at Pride Park Stadium when the sides met in October.
The Rams found themselves behind in the opening 15 minutes of the game as Omotayo Adaramola opened the scoring, whilst 10 minutes later, Scott Banks doubled Palace’s advantage.
But, Derby came out of the blocks flying in the second half as two quick goals brought the scores level.
Firstly, Luke Plange converted from close range and soon after Osazee Aghatise struck powerfully from 25 yards to equalise for the Rams.
However, after doing so well to get back into the game, Derby fell behind once again as Jesurun Rak-Sakyi netted from 10 yards to secure all three points for the visitors.
