Derby vs Birmingham

Match preview

Derby return to Pride Park searching for a much-needed change of fortune after collecting just four points from their opening six fixtures. Sat in the relegation zone, the hosts have found wins hard to come by in the early stages of the campaign, particularly on home turf where they are still waiting for their first victory of the season.

Birmingham arrive in the mid-table pack following a steady start that has yielded seven points from six matches. Their travels have been reasonably productive so far with one away win on the board, and recent history offers encouragement following a draw at St Andrew's last December before a narrow defeat here in March.
