Derby v West Brom: Play-off payback
We all remember the pain and the disappointment as Billy Davies's Derby side popped up at Wembley and snatched the promotion play-off place from right under our noses. Editors and Baggies never forget!
Vital Quotes:
"I do expect a very hard game. Derby have gained 18 points of the 20 they have from home games - almost all their points. It`s going to be tough as well in front of their 30,000 fans.' Robert Di Matteo
Derby Team News:
Nigel Clough is confident that defender Shaun Barker will be able to shake off a thigh problem for the game on Saturday.
Player to watch: Rob Hulse
Former Albion man Rob Hulse has been banging in the goals again and could be a real threat up front for Derby.
West Brom Team News:
Filipe Teixeira has been given the all-clear following a scan on his thigh/groin problem. The Portuguese winger is available for Saturday's game, as are Joe Mattock and Jerome Thomas.
Player to watch: Jonas Olsson
Albion have the joint-second best defensive record in the division and adding to last weeks' clean sheet will be vital. Olsson will be the key to keeping the Rams' attack at bay.
