Preview: Derby County vs. Birmingham City

Derby County and Birmingham City go head to head this Saturday with both sides entering the fixture on the back of defeats.

The home side slumped to a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Crystal Palace, which has placed the Rams in 13th place in the Championship table, last weekend.

Meanwhile, Lee Clark's Birmingham side failed to collect maximum points against Hull City last weekend in their 3-2 loss and the Blues currently sit seven points above the drop zone.

Derby are likely to line up with Craig Bryson and Conor Sammon up front while Birmingham should rely on Marlon King and Nikola Zigic to find goals.
