Charlton return to The Valley on Saturday following two games on the road.
Jose Riga’s team played well at both Ipswich and Queens Park Rangers, but only took one point, which has all but guaranteed their demotion to League One.
Derby are in the play-off zone and look set to contest the end of season lottery again. Addicks fans will be hoping former idol, Darren Bent, plays some part in the game.
Riga is unlikely to tinker with his side too much given their recent performances. Ahmed Kashi played 45 minutes for the Under-21s in the week, but this game will come too soon for him.
Yaya Sanogo has failed to impress since returning from his three match suspension. Alou Diarra recovered from the injury he picked up at Ipswich to play at Loftus Road, and should again start.
Johann Berg Gudmundsson was not so fortunate, but should be available for Saturday.
Riga could field this team:
Pope; Solly, Fanni, Teixeira, Fox; Gudmundsson, Cousins, Diarra, Lookman; Harriott, Vetokele.
Subs: Henderson, Motta, Lennon, Ba, Jackson, Bergdich, Sanogo.
Darren Bond from Lancashire will be the man in charge.
The Rams will be desperate to cement their place in the top six but may have to settle for a share of the spoils.
