3/1 To Win
Derby County return to action after a 17-day break for international fixtures when they take on Rotherham United for their fourth consecutive match at Pride Park Stadium on Saturday, kick-off: 3pm.
Frank Lampard’s side will be looking for a win to springboard into the final nine games of the season and move back in to the play-off places. Here, dcfc.co.uk has gathered all the information you will need ahead of the clash with Paul Warne’s side.
TEAM NEWS…
The return from action after the international break has brought an injury boost for Frank Lampard.
All injured players from before the break, other than long-term injuries, will be avaliable for selection.
Mason Mount has been missing since the end of January after picking up a hamstring injury against Accrington Stanley and is set for his return. Mason Bennett, Craig Bryson and Tom Lawrence will also be available as will Scott Carson who missed that last game through injury.
WHAT THE BOSS HAD TO SAY…
Speaking to RamsTV, Lampard said: “Everyone feels ready. We have had a nice break, it was much needed to get some rest.
"We've played so many games this year with the cup runs and the league and the break has helped. We have rested, worked hard and the message is very clear now. There are nine games and if we can win enough of them, we are in a good position and we can get into the playoffs.”
He added: "Having watched a lot of Rotherham and playing them earlier in the season and lost, I know that they fight, I know that they are very well organised, and they have players that can hurt us.
"They will come and try to frustrate us here without a doubt. Again that is on us."
