Preview: Derby County vs. Doncaster Rovers

Derby vs. Doncaster

Derby County host Doncaster Rovers on Saturday looking to extend their winning run to seven games.

Manager Steve McClaren has guided the Rams to eight victories in 10 fixtures since he arrived at the club in September, with the East Midlands outfit now sitting in fourth position in the Championship table.

McClaren could name the same starting lineup that began against Charlton Athletic last weekend.

Doncaster haven't won since November 30, and boss Paul Dickov is under pressure to move his side away from the relegation zone.

Dickov could opt to recall James Coppinger after back-to-back 3-0 defeats.
