One notable figure in all of the previous three fixtures, has been Liam Thompson. The depth in Derby's midfield when every player is fit is probably one of the best in the whole division. Lewis Travis, Ebou Adams, David Ozoh, Bobby Clark, and Thompson, have all shown at different times this season that they're capable of playing in that central role. Portsmouth is a winnable game for Derby, who should be looking to capitalise on Pompey's poor away form. I think it's important for Derby to pick up three points on Saturday.
