Millwall have slipped out of the top half of the table for the first time in over a month following their stoppage-time loss to Blackburn Rovers in midweek.
They are now winless in six and are in dire need of a pick-me-up.
Derby County aren’t doing any better, having not tasted victory since 16 October - 10 league games ago.
The bottom club’s only victory this season did come away from home though, and maybe that offers the club that little bit of hope.
Millwall vs Derby County Head-to-Head
Derby’s 3-2 victory in June ended Millwall’s four-game unbeaten run against them up until that point.
That defeat came at home too, which was their first loss on their own patch since 2013.
Saturday’s game will be their 16th Championship match-up in a row.
Historically, the records are dead level, both beating one another 22 times and drawing on 14 occasions.

The Lions are currently bereft of confidence but this could be the game they get their season back on track.
