Good evening and welcome to our live coverage of Derby County's clash at Portsmouth as they look to build on their impressive recent form.
The Rams go into the game at Fratton Park on the back of wins against MK Dons and Torquay United, but face a much stiffer test against Danny Cowley's side tonight.
Derby are without the injured trio of Curtis Davies, James Chester and Jason Knight, but they do welcome back Tom Barkhuizien into the fold after the winger recovered from a hamstring problem.
He could be involved at some stage in the League One clash this evening with the former Preston winger having missed the last month of action.
We will be bringing you all the action, team news and reaction as it unfolds so make sure you stay tuned this evening and you will not miss a kick.
SO CLOSE!!
Hourihane whips in a delightful free-kick which drops to the back post for Forsyth but he just can't sort out his feet quickly enough otherwise Derby were in front.
Unlucky
McGoldrick does well to lay the ball off to Hourihane who whips in a terrific cross which is knocked down by Thompson for Collins whoe shot is blocked.
Brilliant from Wildsmith
Dale latches onto a wonderful 60-yard pass and his touch is sublime. He crosses low into the area with real venom but Wildsmith pushes it away superbly. Smith collects then tries to dribble out of defence when he should just clear it. Pompey win it back but there is a foul and Derby can breathe.
Over
Dale teases a cross to the back post which is met by Ogilvie but his header strokes the roof the net. It's a good even game this. Derby look sharp mind and they now have a free-kick after a foul on Sibley. Hourihane delivers but it's cleared.
Free-kick to Pompey
Collins penalised for a foul right on the edge of the box and it's in a very dangerous position. Dead centre But Cashin blocks the effort from Scarlett.
OFF THE BAR
What a strike from McGoldrick. He receives a header from Cashin on the edge of the box and unleashes a brilliant volley that hits the bar. Was a lovely strike from the forward, just needed a bit more dip and it was in. Keeper was beaten.
Yellow card
Robertson booked for a poor tackle on McGoldrick. That leads to an interesting chat between the dugouts.
Quality....
Hourihane hooks a lovely ball down the line for McGoldrick who is onto it quickly. He holds it up and feeds it back to Hourihane again and his delightful cross is met by Collins who glances a header wide. Lovely move.
Danger
Max Bird is forced to make a header inside the box as Bishop comes in at the back post. The ball comes to Koroma but he lashes over the bar.
Formation
It's 3-5-2 for Derby and they've made a positive start here, but James Collins is down. Fortunately he picks himself back up and is okay to continue. It's a free-kick to Derby midway in Pompey half which is directed towards goal and is claimed by Griffiths.
Out come the players
Derby in their home kit tonight. Around 1,200 Derby fans have made the trip and kudos to them, the traffic has been a nightmare for some.
Pitch looks in decent nick and this should be a good game. Be interesting to see if there is a change in formation.
We are getting ready to go
The players are in the dressing rooms and the Derby fans to the right of me are just bursting into song. Should be a cracker this although I do think there will be a change in shape for the Rams tonight.
