Jake Humphrey presents live coverage from Pride Park as Derby County take on Queens Park Rangers in the Championship. Both clubs were expected to figure in this season's promotion shake-up, yet so far Nigel Clough's Derby have flattered to deceive despite a raft of new signings during the summer. September was a particularly bad month for the Rams, in which they lost four of their five league matches, including a 6-1 defeat at the hands of Cardiff City.
Visitors QPR have responded well to life under new manager Jim Magilton. The west London club are well placed in the chasing pack as they seek a return to the Premier League for the first time since the 1995/96 season.
Derby have never beaten QPR at home since they moved to Pride Park in 1997. In fact the Rams' last home success against the Rovers was in February 1990, Phil Gee and Dean Saunders both scoring in a 2-0 win. Commentator Simon Brotherton and co-commentator Steve Claridge will be on hand to describe the action. Show less
