Derby sneaked into the top six of the Championship on the final day of the ‘regular’ season, and Frank Lampard’s side will head into the tie against Derby high on confidence.

The Rams have a good squad, and there are some very good players, and they will be confident of at least winning against Leeds at home.

Earlier in the season, the two clubs were involved in the ‘Spygate’ scandal where it was uncovered that Leeds head coach Marcelo Bielsa had been sending someone to watch opposition teams’ training sessions.

Derby manager Lampard has suggested that he did take measures to stop anyone from watching his team’s training sessions in the build-up to the first leg.

Lampard told The Mirror: “We haven’t trained indoors, we haven’t done that. I don’t expect anyone to be watching our training.

“We try to take some measures for that. We did do a few bits but I never went around and said, ‘I want to check the perimeter and build a big wall’.”
