Derby are slowly picking themselves up from a mostly forgettable season in the Championship – and will hope to get one over fellow bottom-half scrappers Stoke.
The Rams were unbeaten in five before a wild encounter with Luton saw them lose 3-2 despite drawing 0-0 with an hour on the clock.
Philip Cocu will hope their midweek defeat was a small blip in a grand regeneration of his side, but faces an awkward task this weekend.
Stoke have undoubtedly improved under Michael O’Neill.
The Potters are currently enjoying a four game unbeaten streak in the Championship including three clean sheets in a row and victories over table-topping West Brom and play-off hopefuls Swansea.
