Bramall Lane covered in snow
The game is in minor doubt that the adverse weather conditions will prevent the highly anticipated Derby to be encountered at noon. But the club have confirmed that the undersoil heating system is working and is starting to clear the remaining snow on the Bramall Lane playing surface.

But although officials at the Lane have confirmed that they think that the game will go ahead, the weather could still play a big part with more snow forecasted.
