Derby County welcome Sunderland on Tuesday as pressure mounts on Rams boss Paul Warne (19:45 GMT).
Derby have not won a league match in their past four league games to see them just one point clear of the bottom three, while Sunderland's Friday night tie against fellow promotion contenders Burnley ended goalless.
Pride Park saw success for Derby at the start of the season but the Rams have only won two of their past eight home games, whereas the Black Cats have only lost two of their past 10 away games.
Derby County are winless across their last 13 league games against Sunderland (D5 L8), since a 1-0 win at Pride Park in February 2001 in the Premier League.
