Derby v West Brom

The most financially important club game in the world kicks off at a sodden Wembley this afternoon, as Billy Davies and Tony Mowbray go head to head in the race for the Premiership.

The new stadium has been well used in recent weeks, and it will be interesting to see how the pitch holds up to the heavy rain that has been falling in NW London for the last 48 hours.

One disappointment already is that at least 10,000 corporate seats will be left empty as the FA lead by Brian Barwick once again show their incompetence.

From a personal point of view, i'm not really keen on either side playing today, but for trading on the match I have a little feeling that underdogs Derby may prevail.

Billy Davies has done a great job at Pride Park, and his Derby team will be well organised and play to their strengths. Key man Steve Howard will be the focal point for The Rams, and if he plays well it could be their day.

If Derby fail to go up, Billy Davies may find himsef in the Premiership anyway - he has been backed to be the next Man City manager (5th in the betting at 19.00).

I will give an update on my trades before the big kick off
