Derby have their fate in their own hands heading towards the conclusion of the Championship season this weekend, knowing that a win will guarantee them a play-off spot. 

Frank Lampard's side have been in good form recently and will be keen to take that into the play-offs as they target a return to the Premier League.

One man that has been key to their recent success is Martyn Waghorn, who has netted () goals so far to fire the Rams up the table at a crucial stage of the season.

Waghorn has ripped into Derby team-mate, Mason Mount today on Instagram, as his in-form FIFA card statistics were released recently.

It's safe to say that his defending could do with some work if those statistics are anything to go by, but it's good to see the mood in the Derby camp is upbeat as they head into the final day of the Championship season.

The Rams take on Swansea City on Wednesday evening, where they'll be hoping to ease the pressure on themselves with a positive result.

They then host play-off rivals, West Brom on Sunday, which could seal their place inside the top six.

It's certain to be a closely-fought battle for the race to the Premier League, with Frank Lampard's side likely to come up against Leeds United in the play-offs if they finish inside the top six.

The Verdict: 

The pair will be crucial to their promotion hopes.

Waghorn and Mount have played a starring role in getting Derby where they are in the Championship table this season, and without them, the Rams would be struggling.

They need to step up for their team in the coming weeks, to fire Frank Lampard's side back into the top-flight.
