Follow live coverage as Derby County face Swansea City in the Championship today. An increasingly competitive second tier in English football remains an intense and exciting competition, with the prize of a place in the Premier League on offer at the end of the season.

A win here would go some way to solidifying that claim, against a Derby side currently one place and one point ahead of the Swans heading into this clash at Pride Park. The game will be shown live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Football, but you can also catch all the action with our live blog below.

Vipotnik and Kyle Naughton come into the Swansea City team for tonight’s Championship fixture at Derby County.

Swansea City will likely be licking their wounds after conceding an added time winner to Leeds United during their 4-3 loss on Sunday and will be hoping not to fall to a third consecutive league defeat as they make the trip east to Derby County on Wednesday.

Since the 2-1 defeat at Stoke City at the beginning of November, newly-promoted Derby County have strung together a three-match unbeaten run, delivering the final nail in the coffin of Mark Robins at Coventry City on November 6 before back-to-back draws against Plymouth Argyle and Preston.
