West Bromwich Albion take on Derby County in their penultimate home fixture of the 2024/25 Sky Bet Championship campaign on Easter Monday (ko 3pm).
The Baggies were beaten 2-0 at Coventry City on Good Friday and will want to deliver a positive reaction in front of their own supporters.
The Rams also lost on the same day, suffering a 1-0 home setback against relegation rivals Luton Town. It's a result which leaves them in the thick of a relegation fight with three matches left.
Monday's guests claimed all three points in the first game between the two teams on Boxing Day. Derby ran out 2-1 winners thanks to Jerry Yates' strike and Mason Holgate's own goal. Grady Diangana headed home at the back post late on, but it proved to be nothing more than a consolation.

The visitors
Derby County are in a relegation scrap and have three games left to save their Sky Bet Championship status.
The Rams head to The Hawthorns sat 21st in the division on 43 points from their 43 matches played. They're level on points with Luton, who beat them 1-0 at Pride Park on Good Friday, one clear of Cardiff City and three ahead of Plymouth Argyle.
Monday's visitors have now gone four without a win since claiming four successive triumphs between March 8 and April 2, losing to Swansea City and the Hatters, and drawing to Burnley and Portsmouth.
John Eustace swapped Blackburn Rovers for Derby County in the middle of February and has given the East Midlanders a shot at survival. The former Kidderminster Harriers and Birmingham City boss has taken 13 points from his 11 second-tier fixtures in charge and will be confident his team can collect the necessary results required to keep them in the division.
After facing the Albion, the Rams have encounters against two teams in the bottom half of the Championship - Hull City away next Saturday and Stoke City at home on the final day.
County have one of the poorest away records in the league, earning just two wins and 12 points from their 21 matches completed on their travels. Only bottom side Plymouth have a lower points tally on the road, but Eustace and his players will know just how important their trip to the West Midlands is.

Albion beat the Rams 3-2 at The Hawthorns on the final day of the 1995/96 Division One campaign.
