Form guide: The home win over Southampton (courtesy of the flukiest goal imaginable) was Derby's first Premiership win since beating Blackburn on the opening day of the season. But their performances against Newcastle and Liverpool were much better than the scorelines suggest. Ravenelli's failure to convert penalties in both games proved costly.
Danger man: Ravanelli says he won't be taking any more penalties, so that's a shame! But the legendary Italian still represents a major threat, especially with Benito Carbone to assist.
Team update: Argentine defender Horatio Carbonari and Finnish midfielder Simo Valakari proved their fitness in the reserves this week and could be challenging for places in the squad. But the tip is that Derby will be unchanged.
How to get there: From the M1, exit at junction 28 and follow A38 into Derby. Follow signs for A52 (Nottingham) off the Pentagon Island in Derby. After 1 mile take first left at signs for Wyvern Shopping Centre (also s/posted Pride Park Stadium) and continue to traffic island. Take first exit over bridge into Pride Park.
