Derby County desperately need points on Saturday, Jan 16 at 4:00 PM in the Championship. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.
Stoke City come into this fixture in red-hot form (4W from last 5). Derby County travel struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.
In 10 previous meetings, Stoke City lead 3–5 with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in Stoke City won 0–2.
Verdict: The gulf in league position makes Stoke City clear favorites, but Derby County have shown they can grind out results. Expect Stoke City to take the points, potentially without being at their best.
