Derby County vs Coventry C.
9 April 2011 at 15:00 GMT
Derby County will be without Paul Green and Gareth Roberts, who both suffered knee injuries against Cardiff.
Both players will be assessed ahead of Saturday's match along with full-back Jordan Clarke, who has been nursing an ankle probem. Coventry have doubts over Marlon King and Gary McSheffrey, who have had flu. Shaun Barker limped off in that match but is set to play, while John Brayford is likely to switch to left-back, and Dean Leacock returns to the squad.
In fact, City have won on only one of their last 16 trips to Derby, which might offer some encouragement to a Rams side that has struggled at home, managing only one win and four goals on their own patch in 20 City have also had problems in front of goal - but they could claim to have been unlucky. Dismal results have taken both these clubs from the play-off places to a relegation battle.They have hit the woodwork 28 times in Championship games this season - more than any other club.
The pressure on Coventry was at least eased by Saturday's home win against Watford, which was their first victory in eight matches and only their second in Derby, on the other hand, were thumped 4-1 by Cardiff and have won only three of their last 21 league games. Coventry's slump led to Aidy Boothroyd losing his job as their manager, while Derby's terrible run has led to boss Nigel Clough coming under mounting pressure. And only second-placed Norwich have had more attempts on goal than the Sky Blues.
Coventry have lost four of the last five matches between these clubs and have been beaten on their last two visits to Pride Park.
