Derby County v Leeds Utd
Sunday 19th July at 1.30pm | Pride Park


Premiership elect Leeds Utd travel down to bitter rivals Derby County needing just a point to be crowned Champions of the Championship.

Huddersfield home win against the Baggies on Friday evening shock waves through the West Midland Club, but spread ecstasy in nearby Leeds as 16 years of pain can finally be put to bed.

There were also jubilant scenes in West London as Brentford look set to dislodge Slaven Bilic's team from the automatic places for the first time this season.

Leeds will want to finish the season in style, especially against Derby. Their over exaggerated account of Spygate is still fresh in minds of minds of many Whites fans, as is the second leg of the play offs when individual errors caused a meltdown in the Leeds ranks.

Prior to Leeds promotion, Rams Manager Phillip Cocu was quoted as saying: "We have some pride, we play a home game and try to win every game.

"It will not be an easy game, they have a lot to play for, and so we have to be ready.

"The mood is better. We needed a couple of days to straighten our backs (after the defeat by Cardiff) because the play-offs are out of reach for us.

"There was a big disappointment for everybody. Now we have started to focus on the game on Sunday."

Helder Costa has joined Kalvin Phillips on the treatment table. The former Wolves winger has a rib injury that he sustained during the victory over Barnsley. Both are not expected to feature for the remaining games against Derby or Charlton.

We'll probably lose this and I couldn't give a **** <cheers>

I am kinda hoping that Brentford lose today - not because it means we go up as Champions, but just because it'll be hilarious if they bottle it after West Brom laid it on a plate for them.

Be interesting to see them play with a bit of pressure on for a change.
 
Just a thought.

The longer the Stoke vs Brentford game goes will Brentford start to settle for the point needed at some point?

Different mindset for Brentford today. All of a sudden it it they that need the win (or draw) now it's in their hands. It's easier chasing with no expectations.
