Reading assistant boss Kevin Dillon believes the Royals will win at Derby and survive the drop into the Championship.
Derby will set the record for the worst ever points total in the Premiership whatever happens on Sunday and Dillon is looking for Reading to ensure they too get a win at Pride Park.
"If we win at Derby, I honestly believe we'll be OK. That's not bravado - that's fact as far as I'm concerned," Dillon told the Daily Mirror.
"Let's put it this way, if we can't beat Derby, it will be hard to take.
"They've had a bad season. Paul Jewell has gone in there and had massive problems from the start, and they're going to have the lowest points in the top flight, lower than Sunderland.
"Pride Park must be a pretty dour place to play for their players.
"Last game of the season, we've got everything to play for. We've got our Premier League future at stake and we need to win.
"I'd rather be going to Derby than Chelsea. I'd rather be us playing Derby than Fulham going to Portsmouth. And I'd rather be playing Derby than Birmingham, who have got Blackburn at home.
"Mark Hughes is a typical Alex Ferguson sibling, like Steve Bruce and Roy Keane, and it shows in the way they manage."
