Match preview

Few people will know how the extent of the Leeds players' celebrations since their promotion to the Premier League was confirmed on Friday, but they may not be firing on all cylinders at Pride Park.

Derby, who beat Leeds in the playoffs last season, have seen their own promotion hopes dashed by a run which saw them draw with Nottingham Forest and lose key clashes against West Brom, Cardiff and Brentford.

However, they have been a tough outfit to beat on their own patch - the 3-1 defeat against the Bees ended a run of nine unbeaten home games - so Marcelo Bielsa's team will not have things easy.

It may be worth chancing that it takes time for Leeds to focus and Derby can provide the wake-up call that kicks the Yorkshire outfit into action.

Key stat

Both teams have scored in 11 of Derby's last 14 league matches.
