First task for either goalkeeper here as Blackburn's Christian Walton forced to tip a dipping effort over his bar from Chris Martin.

First corner of the game for Derby. It's awful and cleared at the near post.

Louie Sibley has had a confident start for Derby on his league debut.

He slides a pass for Chris Martin running across the top of the area but Ryan Nyambe comes across well with the challenge for Blackburn.

Blackburn Lad: A win will not only put us into the play-off places, as a bonus it will knock Preston out of them.

A double incentive for Rovers this afternoon then!

They'll be a few Blackburn fans with large grins on their faces at the moment no doubt.

Two years ago, the club had just completed trips to Walsall and Wimbledon - quite the comedown for supporters who had enjoyed Premier League football for so long.

Now they sense a bid for a return to the top flight for first time since 2012 if they can force their way into the play-off picture.

It was always going to be a tricky season for Derby dealing with the comedown for a play-off final defeat and the departure of Frank Lampard.

But their form at Pride Park has been promotion-worthy - only two teams have come to DE24 and won in the league this season.

Sadly for the Rams, their away form is relegation-worthy.

Put the two together and you have their mid-table mediocrity.

One change for Rovers from the side that drew with Swansea last Saturday.

Dominic Samuel is out and Ben Brereton comes in up front.

Blackburn: Walton, Bennett (c), Nyambe, Adarabioyo, Bell, Travis, Downing, Rothwell, Brereton, Armstrong, Gallagher

It remains ever so tight in the race for the final play-off spot with six teams separated by only three points.

A win for Blackburn today would see them leapfrog four teams into sixth.
