3/1 To Win
Derby County make the short trip to Yorkshire on Saturday to take on fellow top six rivals Barnsley in Sky Bet League One action (3pm kick-off).

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
New signing Dwight Gayle is in line to make his Derby bow after signing a short-term deal until the end of the season earlier this week.
Goalkeeper Josh Vickers (quad) remains out of action after being injured earlier this month, but he is progressing well.
Striker James Collins (knee) remains sidelined following the injury he picked up in the 3-0 victory at Exeter City last week.
Winger Corey Blackett-Taylor (hamstring) missed the 1-0 win over Stevenage last weekend but could come back into contention for Saturday.
Striker Conor Washington (ankle) is back on the grass after a long period out of action but Saturday's match will come too soon for him.
Defender Craig Forsyth (calf) remains although it is hoped he will resume training at some stage this month or in early March after stepping up his workload.
Striker Martyn Waghorn (calf) is back in training ahead of Saturday's match and could be included in the squad, having been sidelined since early December.
Striker Tyreece John-Jules (hamstring) suffered a severe tear in the defeat against Reading last month that will keep him out of action for the rest of the season.
Long-term absentee Jake Rooney (knee) remains ruled out of action but is making good progress in his rehabilitation work.
Pre-Match Thoughts
Head Coach Paul Warne spoke to RamsTV to preview the short trip to Barnsley on Saturday.
He said: "To win on Saturday will take everything, because they are a good side. We aren't bad away from home, we'll take a big following, the lads will be right up for it and hopefully we can perform. It's a big game for both clubs, there is no point pretending it isn't."
Striker Dwight Gayle spoke to RamsTV after putting pen-to-paper on a deal until the end of the season earlier this week.
He said: "It's straight into a six-pointer. I know we've got three or four big ones coming up towards the end of the season and they are going to be the most important ones. If we can get off to a good start against Barnsley, it will put us in a good position for the remainder of the season."
