Manager Phillip Cocu has made two changes from the midweek fixture against Luton Town for this evening’s Sky Bet Championship clash against Stoke City at Pride Park Stadium (7:45pm kick-off).


There is one enforced change in Derby’s starting XI as Max Lowe serves the first of his three-match ban following his dismissal against the Hatters on Tuesday night.

He has been replaced by Craig Forsyth, whilst the other change comes in midfield as youngster Jason Knight moves to the substitutes' bench with Chris Martin, who scored the Rams’ second goal of Tuesday’s game, coming into the side.

Here are the teams:

Derby County: Hamer, Wisdom, Forsyth, Waghorn, Lawrence, Clarke, Martin, Holmes, Rooney (C), Bogle, Bird.

Substitutes: Roos, Shinnie, Marriott, Davies, Knight, Malone, Whittaker.

Stoke City: Butland, Allen (C), Lindsay, Batth, Ince, Vokes, McClean, Smith, Clucas, Powell, Tymon.

Substitutes: Davies, Diouf, Gregory, Verlinden, Cousins, Thompson, Collins.
