Preview: Derby County vs. Blackpool

Blackpool travel to Pride Park to play Derby County on Saturday with both sides looking to move away from the middle of the Championship table.

Derby County manager Nigel Clough could make changes after his side were beaten 3-0 at Peterborough United last weekend.

Defender Jake Buxton misses the match through suspension and he could be replaced by Mark O'Brien, while Michael Jacobs may drop to the substitutes' bench with Ben Davies coming into the side.

Blackpool have drawn their last two matches and manager Ian Holloway could replace Gary Taylor-Fletcher with Nathan Delfouneso in attack.

Ludovic Sylvestre replaced Isaiah Osbourne midway through the second half of the 1-1 draw with Brighton & Hove Albion and Holloway could opt to play the French midfielder from the start for this game.
