Derby County vs Swansea City live stream, Sky Sports, Wednesday 16 December, 17.30pm GMT
Swansea will be looking to build on Saturday’s victory in the South Wales derby when they face Derby in midweek.
The Swans remain in third place following their defeat of their arch-rivals at the weekend. Steve Cooper’s side have now lost only one of their last seven games, and Saturday’s shut-out means they have kept 10 clean sheets this term. Indeed, Swansea go into this game with the best defensive record in the division, having conceded only 10 goals in 18 games to date. Swansea are 11/8 with Betfred to win this one.
Despite their excellent recent form, Cooper will want to see his team show more in attack over the coming weeks. Swansea have scored just 21 times this season, a tally bettered by Preston and Huddersfield in the bottom half of the table. Saturday’s win at Cardiff was only the second time they have scored more than one goal in an away game in 2020/21.
Wayne Rooney remains in caretaker charge of Derby, and a positive result on Wednesday could be enough to earn him the job on a permanent basis. Rooney has succeeded in making the Rams harder to beat since he was handed the reins, with Derby unbeaten in the five games since Phillip Cocu was dismissed. Derby are 9/4 with Bet365 to get the win.
The next step for Rooney is to turn draws into wins. Derby’s last two games have finished 0-0, while they have also been held by Wycombe and Coventry since England’s all-time record goalscorer stepped into the dugout. If they are to climb out of the bottom three, Derby need to start emerging victorious more often. Another draw here is 9/4 with Betfred.
The hosts remain without Curtis Davies for the visit of Swansea, who are still missing Wolves loanee Morgan Gibbs-White. Cooper could keep faith with the starting XI that won the derby at the weekend, but Rooney might be tempted to find space in his line-up for Martyn Waghorn.

Use a VPN to watch a Derby County vs Swansea City live stream from outside your country
If you’re on holiday or just simply out of the country, your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows exactly where you are from your IP address. Your access to the game will be automatically blocked, which is annoying if you’ve paid a subscription fee and don't want to use an illegal, buffering stream that makes you miss another Jamie Vardy goal. And that's where we recommend ExpressVPN (more on which below).
All you need to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to get beyond such aggravations (assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs). A VPN creates a private connection between your device and the internet, meaning suppliers can’t work out where you are and what you’re doing. The info going to and from is entirely encrypted.
