Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Derby County & Preston North End face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Carabao Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
It's no vacation for neither County nor Preston North End as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Last season their Carabao Cup adventure ended in the 2nd round.Overall Championship stats at home this season for Derby County are 0-0-1 (wins-draw-losses). With County having lost three times in a row here, the pressure is increasing on the manager P. Cocu.
In the match before that, County hosted Barrow (after extra-time, 3-2 on penalties) and drew the Carabao Cup game 0-0.
This is expected to be a close game, with Derby County perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Derby County as a small favourite), we find 13 games. County has won four of these, drawn eight and lost one.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for County as they are travelling to their away game against Luton Town in the Championship. That match is four days after this one.

Preston North End form and stats

This ended in the 3rd round.Preston failed to get anything from their last game, a Championship home match vs Swansea City that ended with defeat 0-1. A home win before that, celebrating 4-0 vs Mansfield Town.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Preston North End playing away and similar expectations, we found 13 relevant matches. Results were four Preston North End wins, four draws and five defeats.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Preston manager A. Neil as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Norwich City.
