English League Championship

After several decent performances and results, Derby County lost two in a row and are in troubles again - just five points above the relegation zone. Their major problem this season was lack of goals, and are and two of their major problems this season have been a lack of goals and a nasty habit of conceding late in games.

Despite losing last two games, the Rams still didn't look that bad in those two games against Swansea and West Bromwich. They had some good periods, but without key players they couldn't get anything.

Rams boss Nigel Clough should have Rob Hulse back for this one, while Kris Commons still remains out.

Watford are in similar position as Derby, but with two games in a hand they are coming to this match more relaxed. They are also blowing hot and cold lately, and are coming to this match on the back of defeat against Newcastle. Watford manager Malky Mackay could give a debut to winger Will Buckley, Tom Cleverley is suspended and Jay DeMerit is struggling with injury.

Watford played some good football lately, but this is one of those must-win games for Derby. After some positive in defeats against top sides like Swansea and West Brom, they should be strong enough to get all the points today.
