There's never been a draw between these two clubs at Derby, both games two seasons ago ended in a 1-0 win for the home side. Our 1-0 win came courtesy of an 89th minute Kerry Mayo Goal.
Derby's winner was a controversial penalty converted by Danny Higginbotham in the first half. The second half was all Brighton to no avail.
Mark McGhee is likely to have some selection problems for the game on Wednesday Night with Nicolas also likely to feature.
Though it seems certain that Virgo will return. McGhee was quoted on the Official Site as saying
"He allows us to play 4-4-2 because he keeps the ball, heads the ball, puts defenders under pressure and is a goal threat. It transforms our performance having someone like that up front. Derby will be another difficult game, but with Virgs back we hope to be a bit more potent going forward and we'll try and win that game as well."
