• Fixture: Derby County vs Millwall

Derby County will be looking to bounce back from their recent home defeat against Leicester City. With a predicted 4-4-2 formation, they might aim to exploit the wings with Ward and Elder, while Agyemang and Salvesen lead the attack. Their recent form has been inconsistent, but a win away at Swansea City shows they can be competitive.

Millwall, on the other hand, come into this match with a strong run of form, having won three of their last five games. Their predicted 4-2-3-1 setup could allow them to control the midfield with Azeez and Kelly, while De Norre and Emakhu provide creativity behind Ivanovic. This tactical approach might give them the edge in a closely contested match.

Match Prediction: Derby County 1-2 Millwall

Derby County's recent form has been up and down, with two wins and three losses in their last five games. Their most recent result was a 1-3 home defeat to Leicester City, which might dent their confidence going into this match. However, their ability to secure victories away from home against Swansea City and Blackburn Rovers suggests they can still pose a threat.

• Loss: 1-2 vs Middlesbrough (A)
• Win: 2-1 vs Swansea City (A)
• Loss: 2-3 vs Watford (H)

Millwall have been in good form, winning three of their last five matches. Their most recent result was a 1-0 away win against Bristol City, which should boost their confidence.

• Win: 1-0 vs Bristol City (A)
• Win: 3-2 vs Southampton (H)
• Win: 1-0 vs Sheffield Wednesday (H)

• Predicted lineup: Zetterström (GK), Langås (DF), Clarke (DF), Sanderson (DF), Elder (DF), Ward (MF), Adams (MF), Clark (MF), Brereton (MF), Agyemang (AT), Salvesen (AT)

Derby County's predicted 4-4-2 formation will likely see them focus on a solid defensive structure with Clarke and Langås at the heart of the defence. In attack, Agyemang and Salvesen will be expected to lead the line, with Ward and Brereton providing width and support from the wings.

• Predicted lineup: Crocombe (GK), Crama (DF), Cooper (DF), Taylor (DF), Sturge (DF), De Norre (MF), Kelly (MF), Azeez (MF), Bangura-Williams (MF), Emakhu (MF), Ivanovic (AT)

Millwall's predicted 4-2-3-1 formation should allow them to dominate the midfield with De Norre and Kelly anchoring the centre of the park. The attacking trio of Emakhu, Azeez, and Bangura-Williams will look to create chances for Ivanovic, who will be the focal point up front.

• Salvesen vs Cooper: This duel will be crucial as Salvesen's movement and finishing will be tested against Cooper's defensive solidity.

• Clark vs De Norre: The midfield battle between Clark and De Norre could determine which team controls the game's tempo.

• Agyemang (Derby County): Agyemang's ability to hold up play and link with Salvesen will be key for Derby County's attacking threat.

• De Norre (Millwall): De Norre's creativity and passing range will be vital for Millwall's midfield control and chance creation.
