The game is Villa's last at home this season, unless they fail to secure automatic promotion - in which case they'll play once more in the play-off semi-finals.

Derby currently sit seventh in the Championship table, eleven points behind Villa, who are fourth.

The club have currently sold over 34,000 tickets for the clash, so made the decision to open the upper stand to allow for more seats to go on sale. They're currently on general sale.

The club previously opened the upper tier of the stand for high profile games including the 4-1 win over Wolves and 2-0 win against Birmingham City.
