Derby County prepare to entertain Coventry City at Pride Park on Monday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Rams are clearly on top, having won 19 and lost only 7 of the 33 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Pride Park was just last season, in September 2005, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a Championship match.
