TEAM NEWS…
Manager Wayne Rooney has no fresh injury or suspension issues going into the game at Ewood Park.
He may opt to shuffle his pack following Saturday's 2-0 loss at AFC Bournemouth as the Rams look to pick up a positive result against Tony Mowbray's outfit.
MANAGER'S THOUGHTS…
Manager Wayne Rooney offered his pre-match views to RamsTV and he said: “We have to keep doing the right things; do what we are doing, be brave on the ball and keep playing.
“We prepare the team, we plan how we want to play and then the players have got to go out there and when we get chances, take them.
“We
have asked the players to be creative and take risks, try things and
try and impose themselves on the game in the final third.
“We are down to the last nine games of the season and we need to start turning some of these performances into wins.”
FROM THE DRESSING ROOM…
Defender Eiran Cashin spoke to RamsTV at Moor Farm Training Ground on Monday to preview the midweek trip to Ewood Park.
He said: “It’s going to be tough, we know they are a good team.
“We
know how they want to play and we know what we’ve got to do to win the
game and hopefully we can score some goals and get the win.”
MATCH OFFICIALS…
Tony Harrington will oversee Tuesday night's game at Ewood Park.
Harrington has overseen 17 games so far this season in all competitions, showing 57 yellow cards and one red card.
His
last Derby match was the 4-0 away win at Birmingham City in December 2020.
He will be assisted by Simon Bennett and Edward Smart on the lines, whilst Thomas Bramall has been appointed as the fourth official.
EFL SUBSTITUTE RULES…
The five substitutions rule has been scrapped for the 2021/22 season, the English Football League confirmed in July.
The rule allowing clubs to make five changes, as opposed to the usual three, was brought in following football's restart in June 2020 after a break due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Given that games had to be condensed into a short period of time it was thought beneficial and allowed managers to make as many as five changes in three intervals during a match.
Clubs had a longer post-break between seasons this time around and so the temporary rule has been changed.
Teams will be able to name seven substitutes but only use a maximum of three.
STREAMING INFORMATION…
With
COVID-19 capacity restrictions lifted and EFL fixtures being played in
front of full crowds once again, the temporary change in streaming rules
is no longer valid.
