No doubt the atmosphere will be electric, because of course you can’t beat the thrill of watching a live match in a stadium.
To those who may not be able to travel to Stoke, don’t worry.
There are plenty of pubs in Derby where you can sink a pint before, during and after the Rams victory (we at DerbyWorld HQ are a hopeful, positive bunch)!
Here are a selection of pubs in Derby perfect to cheer on the Rams during their clash at Stoke-on-Trent.
