Derby County hosts Bolton Wanderers in Championship fixture

Derby County faces Bolton Wanderers at Pride Park in a Championship match as Derby attempts to escape the relegation zone. The Rams have struggled this season, securing only one league victory since early September and failing to record a home win. Following heavy recent defeats against Millwall and Norwich City, manager John Eustace faces pressure to improve a defense that ranks among the worst in the division.

Bolton Wanderers enter the contest in 17th place, holding a seven-point advantage over the relegation zone. The Trotters recently ended a three-game winless streak with a 1-0 victory over Charlton Athletic. While Derby deals with several absences including Eiran Cashin and Craig Forsyth, Bolton looks to build on recent momentum in their first Championship campaign since 2018-19.
