The first thing that strikes me about this fixture is how are Derby struggling with such a good squad of players?

Jacob Butterfield, Will Hughes and Bradley Johnson are as strong as a midfield three most Championship sides could hope for. There is experience throughout the while Tom Ince is supremely talented and Matej Vydra has been a regular scorer in the Championship for the past few seasons.  

Saying that, Leeds are in form and the improving performances are in the main being rewarded.

Fans are talking about having a pride in watching their team again which is helped by the presence of a new cult hero in the imperious defender Pontus Jansson and the exciting but often frustrating winger Hadi Sacko.

Head coach Garry Monk, who serves a one-match touchline ban today, feels his methods are being taken on board and the 4-2-3-1 system is working, so there should be no fear for United at the Ipro.

Two of the most formidable Dutchmen to ever grace English football do battle this afternoon at Loftus Road - but this time it's in the dugout.

Jaap Stam and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink were Netherlands team-mates but Premier League opponents in the early 2000s.

Today, Stam's Reading side take on Hasselbaink's QPR at Loftus Road.

Both are trying to bring their own brand of 'total football' to the Championship, favouring a possession-based, passing game.

That, Stam told BBC Radio Berkshire, could make for an entertaining afternoon.
