 Even at this stage of the season, this contest is still being billed as a six-pointer and a good result is crucial for both sides. Fulham go into the game with a lengthy injury list as they bid to overcome a disappointing league run.
Collins John (fever) is doubtful, while Lee Cook, Brian McBride, Moritz Volz, Jimmy Bullard, Philippe Christanval, Simon Elliott and Ian Pearce are all out of the game.
Derby are boosted by the availability of striker Craig Fagan after a four-match suspension, while Robert Earnshaw is also hoping for a starting place.
Giles Barnes could make his first start of the season after a lengthy absence and Darren Moore has overcome a knee injury and is available for the important game against the Craven Cottage.
