Derby, a Premier League candidate, quickly rose to the 3rd tier of English football and is now a potential returner to the Championship. With 7 wins in the last 9 matches, Derby has climbed from the middle to 4th place, leading to playoffs and only 3 points less than Peterborough, which is directly promoting.

Burton is 19th in the league, 5 points ahead of Reading. Despite recent changes, they only gained 1 point in matches and were eliminated in the EFL Trophy round of 16. Their main goal is to maintain their status in League One until the end of the season, with no ambitions.

Derby County gaffer Paul Warne will be missing Joe Ward, Korey Smith, Craig Forsyth, Jake Rooney, Conor Washington, and Martyn Waghorn due to injuries.

Burton Albion manager Martin Paterson has no fitness concerns due to an injury-free group for the upcoming match.
