Bolton Wanderers end their run of three games in six days as they head to Pride Park to face struggling Derby County.

Steven Schumacher's team bounced back from two straight home defeats, doing what they do best on the road. The Whites only needed Sam Dalby's first-half goal to secure victory over Charlton Athletic at The Valley. Now they'll look to do it once again at another side below them in the table.

Derby County have been nothing short of abysmal this season. John Eustace is under immense pressure and whilst the injuries have piled up, he has not been able to get a tune out of the players he has available. The Rams sit ten points below Wanderers in the bottom three, with just one win this season.
