Tom Lawrence makes his return from injury and starts for Derby County against Stoke City this evening as Frank Lampard makes two changes to the side which drew 1-1 with Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday.


It is Lawrence’s first appearance since picking up a foot injury against Ipswich Town last month. He replaces Mason Bennett who suffered a groin injury against Steve Bruce’s side at the weekend.

The only other change in the starting XI comes in goal as Kelle Roos replaces Scott Carson, who misses out due to illness. Under-23 winger Jayden Mitchell-Lawson is named amongst the substitutes, replacing Florian Jozefzoon.

Here are the teams:

Derby County: Roos, Tomori, Keogh (C), Wilson, Waghorn, Lawrence, Johnson, Holmes, Bogle, Huddlestone, Malone.

Substitutes: Ravas, Wisdom, Marriott, Cole, Nugent, Bird, Mitchell-Lawson.

Stoke City: Butland, Allen, Ince, Afobe, McClean, Batth, Martins-Indi, Adam, Shawcross (C), Edwards, Woods.

Substitutes: Federici, Bauer, Williams, Diouf, Fletcher, Bojan, Verlinden.
