Derby 1-0 Fulham
What can the Fulham subs provide in the final quarter of the match? A goal apiece would be nice for Scott Parker.
Derby 1-0 Fulham
Wayne Rooney hasn't seen as much of the ball as he would normally do playing in a deeper midfield role but he's created almost all of Derby's best moments. And he's still causing problems fro the visiting defence,
And of course he has the crucial goal...

A double change for Fulham, who bring on Aboubakar Kamara and Ivan Cavaleiro.
Anthony Knockaert and Stefan Johansen make way.
Derby 1-0 Fulham
Fulham's Harry Arter is cautioned for a late challenge on man of the moment Wayne Rooney.
Derby 1-0 Fulham
Derby squandered a 1-0 lead last time out. If they want to keep alive their play-off hopes they cannot really afford anything other than a win here.
They so nearly conceded there. Joe Bryan is becoming increasingly dangerous on the left for Fulham and he whips in a cross which Rams keeper Ben Hamer diverts away with Aleksandar Mitrovic rushing in.
Derby 1-0 Fulham
Fulham look to respond immediately and they win a free-kick o the edge of the Derby box as Bobby Decordova-Reid earns a soft set-piece after a jinking run.
Aleksdandar Mitrovic to take.
Oh dear. It's another very weak effort on target and is easily saved by Ben Hamer.
Your favourite Rooney moments
Manjeet: Best Rooney moment. Goal against Arsenal on his bday to end Gunners 49-game unbeaten record in 2004. Also last-minute goal against Milan 2007 to beat Dida nearpost. Goosebumps. Rooooooooneeeyyyyyy!!!!!
Paul: I suppose Mark G (20:40) has to like Rooney picked them over Leeds or Forest. Both of those have a realistic chance of getting promoted where Derby have no serious prospects of achieving anything. Rather a chance of getting promoted over having Rooney.
Wayne Rooney (pen)

What a way to mark your 500th appearance in English league football!
Derby 0-0 Fulham
Penalty to the Rams. Handball against Tim Ream.
Wayne Rooney to take after Fulham give the ball away playing out from the back and Ream handballs as he tries to stop Martyn Waghorn cleverly wriggling through on goal.
Derby 0-0 Fulham
That could so easily have been an own goal gifted to Fulham.
Joe Bryan gets away on the left and his cross so nearly sees the retreating Matt Clarke turns the ball into his own net from about six yards. It was a horrible cross to deal with but he just about managed it.
Derby 0-0 Fulham
There's an injury concern for Fulham striker Bobby Decordova-Reid after a clash with Andre Wisdom, but he's able to carry on after a slight delay.
Derby 0-0 Fulham
Stefan Johansen strides purposefully forward and shoots from 25 yards but it's daisy-cutter lacking any sort of venom and is easy for Ben Hamer in the Derby goal.
That's just the second attempt on target by Fulham. Neither were in any danger of going in.
Derby 0-0 Fulham
Just to confirm, no substitutions at the break.
An early chance for Fulham who have a corner after a Curtis Davies miscue.
Stefan Johansen will take it...but it's cleared at the near post.
Derby 0-0 Fulham
Off we go again. Let's hope we see a little bit more excitement this time.
Both teams need the win. Fulham can go level on points with second-placed Leeds and a Derby win will take them to within six points of the play-offs before tomorrow's games.
Saturday's EFL action
Image source, PA MediaUnsurprisingly, there's a packed programme of EFL action coming up for you tomorrow, starting with in-form Blackburn's visit to another promotion-chasing west London side Brentford in the lunchtime game.
The top two are then both in action at 3pm, with leaders West Brom travelling to play-off chasing Bristol City, while second-placed Leeds host Reading.
In League One, leaders Rotherham make the trip to Accrington while Coventry are on the road - although, to be fair, they always are - at Rochdale.
And in League Two, three of the top four - Swindon, Crewe and Plymouth - will be looking to make the most of home advantage as they continue their promotion push.
Your favourite Rooney moments
Ollie Conroy: Rooney arguing with the referee and than banging in the sweetest volley from 30 yards at St James' Park.
James Aithie: My favourite Wayne Rooney league moment wasn't the overhead kick against City, it was the angry volley against Newcastle United. Busy berating the referee, then jogs forward 3 yards and unleashes unstoppable shot.
Mark G: Best Rooney moment? When he didn't sign for Leeds or Forest.
Naughty, Mark...
Image source, Rex FeaturesHT: Derby 0-0 Fulham
Well - hardly a classic. It's had a few moments of interest, but just the four shots on target so far.
Derby's Tom Lawrence has been the most likely source of a goal with Fulham keeper Marek Rodak making a good save to deny the Wales international and also making a fine low stop to keep out a Matt Clarke shot.
Derby 0-0 Fulham
It looked like we were getting a free-kick for a passback as Derby keeper Ben Hamer is penalised, but the ball took a deflection and the right call is made in the end. We are into one minute of time added on.
Derby 0-0 Fulham
We are into the final minute - and there won't be much injury time.
Derby 0-0 Fulham
Image source, PA MediaWayne Rooney takes the corner and it's easily cleared.
Martyn Waghorn is then lucky not to be the first player cautioned, the Derby striker leaving a foot in on Harry Arter as he tried to win back possession.
