Two Changes For The Rams Against Hull City This Afternoon

Derby County manager Phillip Cocu has made two changes to the side which drew 2-2 with Middlesbrough last weekend for this afternoon’s visit of Hull City to Pride Park Stadium in the Sky Bet Championship (3pm kick-off).

Tom Huddlestone makes his first league start since suffering a hamstring injury against Barnsley at Oakwell back in October.

The midfielder missed three months of the season before returning to the team for the Emirates FA Cup Third Round tie against Premier League side Crystal Palace earlier this month.

Elsewhere, Andre Wisdom returns to the starting XI, whilst central defender Curtis Davies reverts to the bench.

Here are the teams:

Derby County: Hamer, Wisdom, Waghorn, Lawrence, Clarke, Holmes, Lowe, Rooney (C), Bogle, Knight, Huddlestone.

Substitutes: Roos, Forsyth, Martin, Davies, Sibley, Bird, Whittaker.

Hull City: Long, Lichaj (C), Tafazolli, Burke, Bowler, Bowen, Elder, Magennis, Irvine, Da Silva Lopes, Kane.

Substitutes: Ingram, Batty, Eaves, Honeyman, Pennington, Samuelsen, Wilks.
