Cocu Makes 10 Changes For Forest Clash

Manager Phillip Cocu has made 10 changes from Saturday’s 1-1 draw against West Bromwich Albion for tonight’s Carabao Cup Second Round clash against Nottingham Forest.

The manager has named four Academy graduates in the starting 11 at the City Ground, three of which starred in the Under-18s' title success last season.

Lee Buchanan, who scored in the First Round tie against Scunthorpe United two weeks ago in the 1-0 win at Glanford Park, is the only man to retain his place in the squad, whilst Cocu has handed Louie Sibley and Morgan Whittaker their first senior starts.

Duane Holmes will make his first appearance of the season after recovering from an injury which saw him miss the Gold Cup campaign for the United States of America in June.

Curtis Davies will captain the Rams tonight as Richard Keogh is named amongst the substitutes.

Here are the teams in full:

Nottingham Forest: Samba, Ribeiro, Pereira, Worrall (C), Cash, Bostock, Vicente, Esteves, Lolley, Adomah, Johnson.

Substitutes: Muric, Grabban, Carvalho, Jenkinson, Ameobi, Da Silva, Benito.

Derby County: Hamer, Shinnie, Paterson, Clarke, Evans, Bennett, Holmes, Davies (C), Sibley, Buchanan, Whittaker.

Substitutes: Roos, Keogh, Lawrence, Marriott, Knight, Bird, Mitchell-Lawson.
