Derby County v Leicester City

[Mighty T.A.L.]

Saturday is also derby day in the Midlands, and Rams boss Billy Davies welcomes defender Michael Johnson back to the fold after completing a suspension and shaking off a hamstring injury.

However doubts remain over Canadian striker Paul Peschisolido (thigh), whilst Scottish midfielder Bob Malcolm is expected to be out until the New Year after undergoing an ankle injury.

Rob Kelly's struggling Foxes have Paddy McCarthy returning from a one-match ban, with the Irishman likely to replace Gareth McAuley.

Andy Johnson (ankle), James Wesolowski (leg), Darren Kenton (calf) and Gareth Williams (ankle) are all likely absentees, but Chris O'Grady is back in contention.
