Preston North End will be looking to bounce back as they return to league action this weekend.
The Lilywhites suffered an embarrassing 4-0 defeat to Luton Town before the international break and have now only won one of their last six matches in the Championship.
However, Ryan Lowe’s side will be feeling positive about their trip to Pride Park, with the Rams currently glued to the bottom of the table with one win in seven.
Preston are unbeaten against Derby in their previous four meetings (W3 D1) and haven’t conceded a goal against them since September 2020.
Here are today’s transfer rumours...
5. Lilywhites hope to bring loanee back next season
Ryan Lowe has admitted that he is in discussions with Liverpool to try and bring Sepp van den Berg back to Preston for the 2022-2023 campaign. The Lilywhites boss said: "I think he'll want to find a suitable, permanent home, but I would have thought if he was at Liverpool next season and looking to go on loan, we'll be in a good position."
