Star man out in Derby County predicted XI vs Northampton Town

Derby County vs Northampton Town kicks off at 3pm on Saturday 23 March

Derby County will be feeling good after a crucial 1-0 win against Bolton Wanderers last weekend.

It put Paul Warne's side four points clear of third place and in control of the promotion chase with seven games to go.

However, as brilliant of a result that it was, they can't afford to distract themselves as they prepare for a trip to Sixfields to face Northampton Town.

The Cobblers are a decent side, sitting in 14th place, they have resigned themselves to mid-table obscurity, but after five winless games in a row, they will be desperate to turn things around against the Rams.

Derby will be looking to make it five wins in a row and put some pressure on leaders Portsmouth. However, with injury doubts yet again hitting the side, Paul Warne has some tough lineup decisions to make.
