Derby County

Last updated: Sat 11 May 2019 21:55
In Brief

Derby claim emotional high of play-off securing West Brom win. Ashley Cole, Craig Bryson, Craig Forsyth, Curtis Davies and Marcus Olsson all remain out. Duane Holmes, Andy King and Martyn Waghorn doubtful.

Looking Back

Secured play-off spot last week with an exciting 3-1 home win over West Brom, who they could potentially meet in final.

Big game against old rivals Leeds, a side they had a squabble with earlier in season thanks to "Spygate", where Leeds spied on them.

Fourth time in play-offs in six years, but have lost three times, twice in semi-final stage.

Looking Ahead

Martyn Waghorn doubtful after going off last week. Andy King unlikely to return. Duane Holmes is also a doubt.

Ashley Cole, Craig Bryson, Craig Forsyth, Curtis Davies and Marcus Olsson all remain sidelined.

Points of Interest

Have 13 wins, seven draws and three defeats on home soil.

Leeds United

Last updated: Sat 11 May 2019 21:55
In Brief

Leeds in terrible form with no wins in four. Leif Davis, Ezgjan Alioski, Jamal Blackman and Barry Douglas injured. Patrick Bamford suspended. Tyler Roberts also out.

Looking Back

Leeds severely out of form at just the wrong time with just one draw and three losses from last four games.

Went down 3-2 to 10-man Ipswich last weekend, another poor performance where Kemar Roofe missed a penalty on his return to the side.

Looking Ahead

Roofe set to lead the line again with Patrick Bamford still suspended and Tyler Roberts is also missing.

Leif Davis, Ezgjan Alioski, Jamal Blackman and Barry Douglas all remain missing.

Pontus Jansson is set to play through the pain barrier despite suffering a knock.

Points of Interest

Have 11 wins, four draws and eight defeats on the road this season. Did double over Derby in regular season with a 4-1 win at Pride Park and 2-0 success at Elland Road.
