Derby County prepare to entertain Leicester City at Pride Park at tea-time on Saturday, looking to continue an impressive record. The Rams are clearly on top, having won 29 and lost only 11 of the 47 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Pride Park was less than a year ago, in March 2010, the Rams carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a Championship match.

Recent respective form guides
Derby County's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Rams have scored 6, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.
Leicester City's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. While the Foxes have hit 5 goals, 10 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Derby County find themselves struggling down in 17th position in the league having picked up 35 points from their 29 matches. Leicester City lie just outside the playoff positions in the Npower Championship, picking up 45 from their 30 games so far.
