Derby County FC
The English football team Derby County FC is based in the non-metropolitan county of the similar name Derbyshire, where it began its activities in 1884. It is a team with a wealth of experience from the English First Division and even from the modern era when the Premier League is already played. However, their greatest achievements are of an earlier date and that was when they won the English First League in the 1971/1972 and 1974/1975 seasons.

Birmingham City FC
The foundations of Birmingham City Football Club were laid back in 1875 when the team was still named as Small Heath Alliance, having played under its current name since 1943. It plays its home games at St Andrew's Stadium, which can hold around 30,000 fans. Perhaps unsurprisingly, their biggest rival is the more famous Aston Villa, who are based in the same city.
