Swansea vs Derby Live

The game will NOT be available to watch live for supporters within the UK, Ireland and the Channel Isles. This is due to a decision taken by the home club meaning the live video stream will only be available internationally.

As usual, RamsTV’s pre-match content will be available to watch for free for all fans across dcfc.co.uk, the official Derby County app and YouTube.

Wednesday evening will see RamsTV’s Owen Bradley joined live in the studio by special guests from 7:15pm as they look ahead to kick-off with stats, clips, interviews and lively studio discussion.

Fer will miss Swansea's final two games of the season and may not play for the club again as he is out of contract this summer. The injury-plagued Dutch midfielder suffered a knee strain during the Easter Monday win at Ipswich, his fourth setback of the season following a ruptured Achilles, groin and hamstring problems.

Martin Olsson (Achilles) is the only other absentee as Swansea, whose play-off hopes ended on Saturday after a 2-2 draw with Hull, conclude their home fixtures.

Victory for Derby would give them a three-point advantage over seventh-placed Middlesbrough on the final day of the season this weekend, and on the brink of a play-off finish given their superior goal difference. Defender Fikayo Tomori is a doubt after the defender was forced off early on in the 2-0 victory at Bristol City on Saturday suffering from a dead leg.

Craig Bryson (ankle) and Ashley Cole (groin) remain out after missing the Ashton Gate win. Duane Holmes (thigh) is back in contention and Andy King has returned to training after two months out with an ankle problem, raising the possibility that the on-loan Leicester midfielder could be involved in the play-offs should Derby make it.

Derby County haven't won three consecutive league matches since September 2018.Derby manager Frank Lampard told BBC Radio Derby:

"It isn't about one more win. Of course, with our goal difference being better, it would put us in the real driving seat if we got the one win.

"But on paper it's four points needed because that last day of the season is going to be tense whatever happens.

"In our good run recently the players have had belief and our fans have started to get a bit of belief as well and the way they were at the weekend was fantastic."
