Traditionally a tasty affair, East Midlands rivals Derby and Leicester meet in a lunchtime clash on Saturday.
The Rams' recent form has moved them up to 11th in the table on 26 points, two points and five places ahead of the Foxes.
Saturday's meeting is the first since the pair clashed in the FA Cup in 2017, when a 2-2 draw at Pride Park was followed by a 3-1 AET victory for the Foxes.
Games involving both teams tend to feature goals and entertainment is expected in their first Championship meeting since 2014.

Team news
Derby remain without top scorer Carlton Morris due to a knee injury.
Rhian Brewster (muscle), Max Johnston and Lew Travis (calf) are also among the Rams' absentees.
Leicester will be without Wout Faes, who is the latest to join the Foxes' injury list due to a facial cut in Saturday's 3-2 defeat to Sheffield United.
Midfielder Oliver Skipp may deputise in central defence with recognised defenders Ben Nelson (ankle) and Harry Souttar (Achilles) still not ready.

The Foxes have lost their last two games and have been defeated in three of their last four away matches.

Prediction
Saturday's game signals the first time these teams have met since 2017 and it could be fiery.
Both have play-off aspirations but each come into this game on the back of defeats.
John Eustace and Marti Cifuentes have seen their teams have good moments and bad ones this season, and will be desperate for some kind of consistency.
Derby have come closest to finding it and their six wins in eight are promotion numbers.
However, their other loss aside from the weekend's reverse at the Riverside came in their last home match when they squandered a 2-0 lead to go down 3-2 to Watford.
Leicester's two recent defeats followed a three-game unbeaten streak (W2, D1), but that improvement came on the back of three straight defeats.
Neither of these teams are to be trusted but this has always been a feisty fixture and that can lead to drama, and hopefully chances.
