Team news

Derby
Krystian Bielik (hip) is expected to play but Graeme Shinnie, Tom Huddlestone (both hamstring), Mason Bennett (ankle), Matt Clarke (knee) and Ikechi Anya (calf) are out.

Sheffield Wednesday
Fernando Forestieri (knee) remains sidelined but Liam Palmer is available after a three-game ban.

Match preview

Derby's home form is just about keeping them out of trouble and the Rams can frustrate impressive visitors Sheffield Wednesday.

The Owls have been ruthless against the weaker teams in the division and have lost only two of their last ten games, going down to late goals at Blackburn and West Brom.

However, Derby have lost just one of ten at home and a share of the spoils looks likely.

Key stat

Eight of Sheffield Wednesday’s nine league wins have come against teams who started the midweek fixtures in the bottom half.
