3/1 To Win
Derby County's busy week of Sky Bet League One action continues on Saturday when they host Charlton Athletic at Pride Park Stadium.
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 and vice-captain Max Bird remains out of action with the groin injury he sustained in the Emirates FA Cup Fourth Round loss to Premier League side West Ham United at the end of January.
Defender James Chester continues to work his way back to fitness after suffering a calf injury in early January and is yet to resume full training.
Warne's Words
Head Coach Paul Warne sat down with RamsTV to look ahead to the clash with the Addicks.
He said: "Charlton have picked up under Dean Holden and, with the way they play, they like to control the game. They are a footballing side but also have some very good outlets out wide. I expect them to come here and attack us. I think it will have a different feel to Tuesday’s game against Lincoln; it might suit us or it might not.
"There are a lot of teams in this league that have been in the Premier League previously and they’ll probably feel they’re bigger than League One; Charlton are definitely one of those. They’ll see coming here beating a team currently in the top six as a big scalp, so I know how motivated they’ll be and how hard they’ll work to get a result."
From The Dressing Room
Defender Craig Forsyth spoke to RamsTV to preview the Rams' second home game inside five days in League One.
He said: "With the run we’ve been on and the points we’ve picked up over that
time, it is disappointing to only have taken one point from our last two
matches. The good thing is the games come thick and fast and we can try
to get back on track this weekend.
"The Wycombe match had a few
deflections that didn’t go our way and on Tuesday night it was
disappointing to lose the goal against Lincoln. The timing of it changed
the mindset and gave them something to hold on to, and when they went
down to ten men they made it very difficult for us. We’ve had a big
focus on home form being good, and it has been. We’ve got to get back to
winning ways on Saturday."
Match Officials
