Derby County will head to the south coast for their Sky Bet Championship clash with Portsmouth on Saturday afternoon (3pm kick-off).


John Eustace’s Rams claimed their 13th point in their last five league games when they secured a goalless draw against promotion-chasing Burnley on Tuesday night, the Rams’ ninth draw of the campaign.

Opponents Portsmouth will come into the weekend’s clash off the back of a late 1-0 defeat against Coventry City on Wednesday night, where ex-Ram Jamie Patterson’s strike in added time denied Pompey points.

Derby sit 21st in the table, just three points away from John Mousinho’s side. Last season's League One champions are 17th in the Championship with 12 wins and nine draws from 41 games so far this season.
