Derby day deluge - five things to watch in the EFL

A high-stakes encounter at Turf Moor pits winless, bottom-of-the-table Burnley against a struggling Derby County side that has claimed only four points across seven fixtures and dropped three consecutive games. The visiting Rams will also be without starting Swedish shot-stopper Jacob Widell Zetterstrom due to a knee issue, drawing concern from ex-academy instructor Darren Robinson over their vulnerable defense.

Elsewhere, London rivals West Ham and Millwall clash at The Den, where the table-topping Hammers pursue their fifth win in a row against an opponent they edged 2-1 despite an early red card back in 2012. Meanwhile, Molineux will host the first Black Country derby since 2021 as West Bromwich Albion manager James Morrison aims to replicate the 5-1 triumph he contested as a player at the venue in 2012, with hosts Wolves seeking to rebound from their 3-2 defeat in the sides' previous meeting.
