Derby County will kick off a two-match week out on the road when they travel to Norwich City on Tuesday night (7.45pm kick-off).
The Rams continued their fiery form on home turf when they won their sixth consecutive home match at Pride Park Stadium with a one-goal victory over Oxford United on Saturday afternoon.
John Eustace’s side will be looking to return to winning ways on the road, though, as they fell to a narrow 2-1 defeat against in-form Southampton last time out on their travels.
Opponents Norwich City also enter the contest off the back of a victory, scoring four and conceding twice in an action-packed contest at Bristol City.
A total allocation of 2,022 tickets has been made available for Rams fans. These are now OFF SALE from the Derby County Ticket Office.
Pay on the day will be available from Carrow Road's South Stand Ticket Office in Norwich tomorrow. All tickets remain at the same price. Card payment only.
Head Coach John Eustace spoke to RamsTV to look back on a sixth consecutive home win and to preview his side’s away clash with Norwich City.
Captain Lewis Travis also caught up with RamsTV ahead of Tuesday night's trip to Carrow Road.
Norwich City sit one place and five points behind Derby, occupying ninth spot with 18 wins and seven draws from their 43 league games this season.
After relegation from the Premier League in the 2021/22 campaign, Norwich City have registered 13th, fourth and then 13th place finishes in their three seasons back at second tier level.
Last year, the Canaries flattered to deceive under the tutelage of Danish coach Johannes Hoff Thorup and then Interim Head Coach Jack Wilshire – the Norfolk club completing the campaign with 57 points.
A new direction was taken ahead of the 2025/26 season, with lifelong Norwich fan and former player Liam Manning drafted in. His time at Bristol City, which saw him guide the Robins to the play-offs last season, brought a strong pedigree and hopes of a promotion push to Carrow Road.
Unfortunately, things didn’t click for Manning, and he departed in early November, with just two wins and three draws from their opening 15 matches, placing Canaries second-bottom.
Fortunes have since changed, though, with the managerial coup of Phillippe Clement seeing Norwich climb back up the division.
Of his 28 league matches in charge, the former Club Brugge, Monaco and Rangers manager has taken points from 20 – winning 16 and drawing four.
It has been a difficult season overall at Carrow Road, with Norwich holding the second-worst home record in the division, with relegated Sheffield Wednesday the only team to pick up fewer points on home turf this term.
A large part of the Canaries' successful moments over recent seasons has been down to United States international striker Josh Sargent, who joined the club from German Bundesliga side Werder Bremen in 2021.
He went on to score 56 goals in 157 appearances, including seven strikes this season, but a souring in relations saw him head back stateside and join Toronto FC in MLS, ending a five-season stay in England.
Midfielder Jovon Makama has stepped up to the plate for Norwich this term, netting ten times in the league. He is followed in the ranking by Australian forward Mo Touré, with seven strikes.
The Canaries have entered the end-of-season stages in strong form, with three wins and one draw from their last five matches.
Though it looks as though play-off contention should be a step too far this season, Clement’s men will be hoping to show that a season of progression stands them in good stead for promotion sooner rather than later.
Tom Reeves will be the man in the middle in Norwich, officiating his seventh Championship fixture this season.
Reeves has held the whistle in 37 matches in the EFL
Across his 28 games in all competitions so far in 2025/26, he has shown a total of 82 yellow cards, one second yellow dismissal and two straight red cards.
Hugh Gilroy and Mark Russell have been named as the Assistant Referees; Gavin Ward has been appointed as the Fourth Official.
