How Derby County’s final nine fixtures compare to relegation rivals Cardiff City, Stoke and Luton
Latest Derby County news from DerbyshireLive brings you a look at the remaining games of the season as the Rams battle to stay in the Championship
Derby County and their rivals have nine games left to ensure they’re not playing in League One next season.
In what is a fascinating competition to stay in England’s second tier, the Rams have given their survival hopes a shot in the arm with back-to-back wins.
After beating John Eustace’s former club Blackburn Rovers last weekend, Derby then followed it up with a terrific 2-0 win over Coventry on Tuesday night.
That has put them back in touching distance of safety, with the Rams just one point adrift of fourth-bottom Cardiff City.
