Bristol City have hit some momentum heading into Saturday's game at Derby and are currently enjoying a run of three games without defeat following a productive Easter weekend.
A disappointing draw at home to Peterborough was followed up by an impressive away win at Stoke before a hard-fought point at home to play-off hopefuls Sheffield United.
Saturday's contest at Pride Park will offer a different and unique contest against a side that were relegated to League One last weekend. With their fate already sealed, Wayne Rooney's team could offer an unpredictable test and Nigel Pearson will know his players will have to be at their best to leave the Midlands with the points.
