Match preview

Any slip-ups from Leeds and West Brom in the Sky Bet Championship promotion race look sure to be punished by a rampant Brentford, who can take their winning run to seven with victory over Derby at Pride Park.

The Bees have rattled off successes against Fulham, West Brom, Reading, Wigan and Charlton in five games since the season restarted, conceding just once, and are in no mood to give up the ghost on automatic promotion even though they require mistakes from one of the top two.

Derby remain in the playoff hunt but they failed to register a shot on target in Wednesday's 2-0 defeat at West Brom and although bolstered by Tom Lawrence's return, they have a weaker look to them in the final third due to a number of key injuries and suspensions.

Key stat

Brentford are the Championship's top scorers having grabbed 75 goals in 42 league games.
