Venue: Pride Park

Kick off: 3pm

Third placed Brighton & Hove Albion travel to Pride Park on Saturday looking to keep up with the Championships early pace setters.

The Rams will still be without Jamie Ward who is suffering from a pulled hamstring.

Nigel Clough could start with Connor Sammon alongside Theo Robinson as both scored in Wednesday's 2-2 draw with Middlesborough.

Brighton are delighted that Spanish right back Bruno Saltor is available again for selection. Unfortunately for Gus Poyet star striker Craig Mackail Smith is still out with hamstring problems whilst Andrew Crofts is also unavailable for selection. Vicente will also miss the game with a knee injury.

Key Players:

Derby - Theo Robinson

Brighton - Will Buckley

My prediction?? The Seagulls soar to a hard fought 2-1 victory and return to winning ways.

I'd recommend coats and scarves for those travelling up north tomorrow. It's rather cold.

Their stadium makes them one of the best supported clubs in the Championship, built in 1997, the average attendance in a 33,000+ stadium in 2009-10 was an astonishing 29,207 (Championship League).

I think you can buy tickets on the day, so if your car does not start in damp weather ... it has happened.

Not quite true. Taking less than 300 to Middlesbrough is shocking.

With Bruno back in the side the whole team will ooze confidence.

Tricky one this. I reckon a draw would be a good days work. Although, we could nick it with a sneaky 1-0. I'd be a lot happier if Bruno plays mind.
