Wayne Rooney has named an unchanged starting line-up for this afternoon’s Boxing Day clash against Preston North End (3pm kick-off).
The Rams have had an extended break following the postponed fixture against Rotherham United last weekend and that has allowed Rooney to pick the same side from the 2-0 victory over Swansea City at Pride Park Stadium ten days ago
The only changes come on the substitutes' bench as Jordon Ibe returns following a minor injury, whilst there is also a place on the bench for Under-23s midfielder Louie Watson.
Here are the teams in full:
Derby County: Marshall (C), Wisdom, Shinnie, Bielik, Jozwiak, Waghorn, Byrne, Kazim-Richards, Clarke, Buchanan, Knight.
Substitutes: Roos, Forsyth, Bird, Ibe, Sibley, Evans, Holmes, Watson, Hector-Ingram.
Preston North End: Rudd, Fisher, Earl, Davies, Browne (C), Johnson, Gallagher, Huntington, Maguire, Barkhuizen, Sinclair.
Substitutes: Ripley, Rafferty, Storey, Bayliss, Ledson, Stockley, Harrop, Jakobsen, O’Reilly
