Match preview

Derby and Fulham are likely to be heading in opposite directions at the end of the Championship season and the Premier League-bound Cottagers should be too classy for the Rams on Friday.

Marco Silva's men were beaten 3-1 at home by Coventry last time out but remain ten points clear at the top of the table while Derby are nine points from safety with games running out.

They are not going down without a fight and have lost only three of their 20 home games, also holding Fulham to a 0-0 draw at Craven Cottage in November.

The Cottagers won the shot count 21-4 that day and, having conceded just twice from open play in their last seven away matches, they can keep a clean sheet while recording their 14th away win of the campaign.
