With their 6 point advantage in the league table, Derby County fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Stoke City.

Derby County form and stats

8 victories, 5 draws and 2 defeats. That’s what Derby County have to build on here at Pride Park Stadium in the Championship. Nine out of nine points from the last three home games for Derby County, and the home supporters are ready to scream their lungs out to keep the winning streak alive.

In their previous game, the manager P. Cocu led his Derby County to a defeat in the Championship match away at Luton Town. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Pride Park Stadium. A 0-0 draw away in the FA Cup before that, with Northampton Town the opponent.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Derby County as they have a new game in only four days, a FA Cup match thankfully also at home. Northampton Town are visiting.
