Derby County return to action this week and will take on Millwall at the Pride Park Stadium on Wednesday in yet another matchday of the English Championship.

The Rams continued their commendable battle for survival last weekend, picking up a hard-fought 1-0 win over Peterborough United.

A tense clash between the relegation battlers saw 13 bookings between the sides but ultimately saw Wayne Rooney's men come out on top via a last-minute winner from academy graduate Louie Sibley.

Derby County sit 22nd in the league table with 21 points from 32 games. They are now five points away from safety and will be looking to reduce that gap as the season approaches its end.

Millwall picked up a 2-0 win over Queens Park Rangers in their last game via second-half goals from Mason Bennett and Tyler Burey, with the latter scoring his first-ever goal for the club.

The Lions sit 14th in the league table with 43 points from 31 games. They will be looking to continue their good run of form when they travel to Derby on Wednesday.
