Team News

Derby
Cardiff
  • Paul Warne should name an unchanged starting XI on Saturday after watching his side produce their best performance of the season two weeks ago.
  • Jake Rooney and Kane Wilson are the home side's only confirmed absentees for the visit of Cardiff.
  • Jesper Daland picked up a knock against Middlesbrough and is a doubt for the trip to Pride Park, so expect Dimitrios Goutas to fill in at centre-back.
  • Elsewhere, Roko Simic could feature on the bench for the first time, while Anwar El Ghazi could make his full league debut on the right.

Prediction

  • Heading into gameweek four there was serious concern over the nature of Derby's performances, but Paul Warne's men put those concerns to bed with an impressive display at home against Bristol City.
  • The 1-0 win was their second of the campaign thus far, lifting them up to tenth in the standings.
  • Cardiff turned in an improved performance against Middlesbrough last time out but had nothing to show for their efforts, conceding twice in the second half in a 2-0 home defeat.
  • Erol Bulut is coming under significant pressure heading into gameweek five with his side rooted to the bottom of the Championship table.
