Derby Form

Derby have improved since John Eustace was named as their new manager in mid-February. The Rams are unbeaten in six of their last 10 and are one point outside the Championship’s relegation zone.

The Midlands outfit won four in a row between March and early April before a 1-0 loss at Swansea. Derby continued their solid form in the next match with a 0-0 draw against promotion-chasing Burnley.

Eustace’s side also drew 2-2 at Portsmouth last time out. Jerry Yates scored first, Derby then conceded and re-took the lead through an own goal before conceding in the 91st minute.

Derby Injuries

Defenders Curtis Nelson, Ben Osborn and Ryan Nyambe are sidelined with injuries.

Forward Dajaune Brown, Corey Blackett-Taylor and Lars-Jørgen Salvesen and midfielder David Ozoh are also out.

Luton Form

Luton are inside the Championship relegation zone and just three points behind Derby. Since Matt Bloomfield’s appointment in January, Luton are undefeated in nine of 16 matches.

The Hatters had their best run of form this season across March and April and were unbeaten in five. They drew three in this streak, 0-0 against Middlesbrough and 1-1 with Leeds and Stoke.

That unbeaten spell ended with a 1-0 home loss to Blackburn. Luton controlled the game with 18-4 shots but conceded the winner after 52 minutes.

Luton Injuries

Midfielder Shandon Baptiste is unlikely to feature due to injury.

Winger Jacob Brown, striker Elijah Adebayo and defender Alfie Doughty are also injured and unavailable.

Verdict

Derby v Luton

There is little between Derby and Luton in terms of form and quality. These well-matched Championship sides need points and a draw is predicted on Friday.
