Derby will be looking to build on their midweek victory at home to Barnsley, by knocking off WBA in a quest for play off status.
Vital Quotes:
There will be quotes here if and when they come available.
Derby County Team News:
Morten Bisgaard is in contention after shaking off a hamstring injury. Giles Barnes should feature after scoring 3 goals in 2 games for the Rams, and every one was worthy of winning any game of football. Matt Oakley (sciatica) and Michael Johnson (hamstring) are both out for tomorrow’s clash.
Player to watch: Giles Barnes
It has to be the young boy wonder Giles. He is scoring for fun at the moment, and he is a midfielder! I think that some Premiership teams may start to look at him, after producing some glittering form for us of late.
WBA Team News:
New manager Tony Mowbray has conceded that first choice keeper, Pascal Zuberbuhler is lacking confidence at the moment, so Russell Hoult may get a call up for tomorrow’s game. Left back Paul Robinson is currently serving a suspension, while Darren Carter will probably not be risked, and Nigel Quashie is out.
Player to watch: Diomansy Kamara
Kamara has scored 8 times this season, and is currently 4th top scorer in the league. This forward will be dangerous, and will need to be watched.
Match Facts & Stats
West Brom are currently 5th in the league, but have not won in their last two games, after drawing 3-3 at QPR and losing to Birmingham 2-0. It has been 12 games since WBA drew 0-0, so goals should be likely.
Derby have gone 5 games without a clean sheet, but are performing quite well of late. Derby are currently 9th in the league.
Match Prediction:
I think this will be a good game of football, and I fancy the Rams to ‘bag’ (as in Baggies) all three points. 2-1 Rams.
