  • Derby County have not won since September but have drawn their last two home games

  • Norwich have lost four of their last five Championship matches

  • Recommended bet: Draw

Derby County host Norwich City at Pride Park in the Championship on Tuesday night in a clash involving two sides who cannot seem to buy a win.

Under John Eustace, the Rams have managed just one victory this season, a 1-0 triumph at West Brom, while the Canaries continue to struggle, losing their last three matches as the pressure mounts on manager Liam Manning.

Team news

Derby have a number of players out. Liam Thompson is sidelined with a knee injury while Curtis Nelson is a long-term absentee and Owen Beck is absent.

Corey Blackett-Taylor made his return from a hamstring problem in the defeat at Oxford and will likely feature against Norwich, while Sondre Langas was fit enough for a place on the bench.

Norwich also have a number of players on the treatment table with centre-back Shane Duffy absent with a calf problem and Jose Cordoba ruled out with a muscle injury.

Papa Amadou Diallo, Anis Slimane, Mathias Kvistgaarden and Ben Chrisene are doubts for the trip to Derby, so Manning will have to make some judgements calls when picking his team.

The stats

Norwich have won on their previous two visits to Pride Park.

Derby are winless in their last eight league home games (drawing five and losing three).

Norwich are yet to win in October having also failed to record a victory in September.

Derby boss Eustace remains winless in six Championship meetings with Norwich (drawing two and losing four).

Prediction

This is a huge fixture for Eustace and Manning and anything but a win will see the scrutiny and pressure on the pair go up a notch.

Both sides will see Tuesday’s game as an opportunity to get back to winning ways but it may well be that the crisis of confidence at Derby and Norwich means the two teams simply cancel each other out at Pride Park.

Eustace will be hoping home advantage counts for something, though the Rams’ only victory this season came on the road at West Brom.

Manning, meanwhile, insisted "I can’t play the game for them" following Saturday’s 1-0 home defeat by former club Bristol City and it seems his days are numbered at Carrow Road where he has not won all season. 

It is difficult to see either team taking the initiative as they continue to endure such barren runs and so a draw is the most likely result.
