Sports Mole looks ahead to Saturday's Championship encounter between Brighton & Hove Albion and Derby County at The Amex.

Brighton & Hove Albion welcome Derby County to The Amex on Saturday as both teams look to enhance their Championship playoff prospects.

The two sides are level on 37 points - although Gus Poyet's men have played one game fewer.

The Seagulls won 3-0 at Ipswich Town on New Year's Day, ending a run of five games without a win.

They followed that up by dumping Newcastle United out of the FA Cup.

The Rams have also had an upturn in form recently, with convincing wins over Middlesbrough and Tranmere Rovers.
