Derby vs Middlesbrough: Live stream, TV channel, team news, and kick-off time for Championship fixture

All you need to know about a vital showdown that sees two of the play-off contenders go head-to-head

WHAT a shocker for topsy-turvy Derby County at relegation-threatened Burton Albion last weekend.

The Rams went down 3-1 and paid for a dreadful display by dropping out of the Championship play-off places.

Gary Rowett's men do have a game in hand on their promotion rivals but, nonetheless, they are playing catch-up after a 10th defeat of the season.

Derby have a tough run-in: after entertaining Boro they host Cardiff City followed by an awayday at Aston Villa before winding up their campaign at home to Barnsley.

Boro ended their poor run of form against top sides as they beat Bristol City 2-1 at the Riverside Stadium.

That result suggests they have enough to make the play-offs but it won't be easy.

They will have to maintain that winning touch against their rivals or this season will go to waste.

After their trip to Pride Park, Tony Pulis's side face Millwall at home and Ipswich Town away.
