First Start For Cole This Evening Against Millwall

Full back Ashley Cole will make his first start for Derby County tonight against Millwall as manager Frank Lampard makes two changes to the side which played against Brighton & Hove Albion in the FA Cup on Saturday.

Cole, who scored in the 2-1 defeat on Saturday, makes his first start for the Rams as Scott Malone drops to the substitute's bench.

Tonight’s game will be Cole’s first start in English football since 11th May 2014 in a 2-1 victory for Chelsea against Cardiff City.

The other change is in attack as Jack Marriott returns for his first start since the 2-1 victory against Reading in mid-January.

The striker, who has missed recent games through illness and an ankle injury, replaces David Nugent who is named as a substitute.

Here are the teams:

Derby County: Roos, Bryson, Tomori, Keogh (C), Wilson, Waghorn, Marriott, Holmes, Cole, Bogle, Huddlestone.

Substitutes: Ravas, Wisdom, Jozefzoon, Johnson, King, Nugent, Malone.

Millwall: Archer, Hutchinson (C), Cooper, Williams, J.Wallace, Gregory, Ferguson, Romeo, M.Wallace, Leonard, Marshall.

Substitutes: Thompson, Onyedinma, Martin, Tunnicliffe, Elliott, Morison, O’Brien.
