Derby are 12th in the table. The Rams have shown quality throughout this season, but they’ve struggled with consistency.

WEST BROM vs NORWICH
Currently 19th in the Championship, West Brom sit on 31 points from 27 outings, four points above the relegation zone. Confidence has been hard to come by, with just a single win in their last five. Norwich City are struggling near the bottom of the table, sitting 22nd with 27 points from 27 games — just one point away from safety.

Betting Tip: Norwich Win/Draw – 39/50 –
QuickBet
WREXHAM vs LEICESTER
After promotion from League One last season, Wrexham has started the current campaign positively; they're currently 10th in the table, just three points away from the play-offs. The foxes will lack confidence coming into this fixture due to their 2-0 away loss at Coventry after going 1-0 up.
