Derby have won just one of their last five games, although in their most recent home clash they did pull out a 1-0 win against Preston.

After the combination of results on Friday, if Fulham were to win, they would secure their return to the Premier League, hence the importance of this game.

Leading scorer for the team and the Championship, so Aleksandar Mitrovic is aiming to be the MVP of the season for his valuable scoring contribution to bring Fulham to within a whisker of securing a return to the Premier League.

If Derby want to aspire to victory, they will have to rely on the verticality and imbalance of Tom Lawrence, who must constantly have the ball at his feet to increase the offensive volume in the final third of the field.

So good has Fulham's season been that they could already secure their return to the Premier League provided they win combined with a Nottingham defeat. If that does not happen, they will have to wait a few more days to achieve the longed-for return; they lost 3-1 at home to Coventry City last Sunday.

If there is no extraordinary change, Derby County will be relegated although they have the candle lit if they manage to win this game at home against the overall leader; they come from losing 2-1 against Swansea City.

The Derby County vs Fulham match will be played at the Pride Park Stadium, in Derby, England. The kick-off is scheduled at 3:00 pm ET.
