TEAM NEWS…
Derby’s squad has no fresh injury or suspension concerns ahead of their final fixture of the first month of the year.
Goalkeeper David Marshall is back in training after missing the last three matches due to illness and manager Wayne Rooney must decide whether to recall the Scotland international or stick with Kelle Roos.
Forward Tom Lawrence remains out of action with an ankle issue but is close to full fitness after around six weeks on the sidelines.
Centre-back Curtis Davies had surgery on a long-term achilles injury last month and is to spend a lengthy spell out of action.
Young striker Jack Stretton is currently working his way back to fitness after undergoing minor surgery on a groin problem.
PRE-MATCH THOUGHTS…
Speaking to RamsTV ahead of Saturday's game, Manager Wayne Rooney said: “We haven’t had a game in midweek and it has given us more time to prepare for Saturday.
“We’ve had more days training with the team, which is always helpful, and we’ve had a bit of rest thrown in for the players.
“The lads have been great, as always. It has been a strange couple of weeks to say the least, but the lads have dealt with it really well on the training pitch in the games.
“We’ve got two wins in the last two games and I couldn’t have asked for any more from them.”
He added: “I’m not really looking at the league table at the moment and I think the one thing the last week has done, with our results, is it has brought us a little bit closer to the teams above us. We have to just keep doing our job and see where we are in a few weeks.”
More pre-match comments from Rooney and defender Andre Wisdom can be found across dcfc.co.uk and also on RamsTV.
WHO IS THE MAN IN THE MIDDLE…
Darren England will be in charge of Saturday afternoon's game at Pride Park Stadium.
England has overseen 15 games so far this season and produced a total of 37 yellow cards and one red card.
His
last Derby game was the 1-0 success at Millwall in early December, with
Jason Knight scoring the only goal of the game at The Den.
England will be assisted by Ian Hussin and Harry Lennard on the lines, whilst Dean Whitestone has been appointed as the fourth official.
EFL SUBSTITUTES RULE…
Following consultation with clubs, the EFL Board has agreed to increase the permitted number of substitutes to five in all Sky Bet EFL fixtures for the remainder of the 2020/21 season.
Regulation 33.4 has been amended to permit:
* Championship Clubs to name up to nine substitutes in their matchday squad, with five permitted to take to the pitch in any fixture.
* League One and League Two Clubs can name up to seven substitutes in their match day squad, again with five permitted to take to the pitch.
GOAL LINE TECHNOLOGY…
Goal line technology is, once again, being used at all Sky Bet Championship matches during the 2020/21 season.
The system was introduced for the start of the 2017/18 campaign and is now entering its fourth full season in the division.
ONLINE PIRACY…
The EFL, alongside all 72 of its member clubs, has launched a campaign aimed at discouraging the illegal streaming of fixtures, warning that doing so will take vital revenue away from clubs
The outbreak of COVID-19 and subsequent behind-closed-doors matches mean that income generated by streaming matches is more important than ever and remains one of the only income streams available at this challenging time.
Illegal streaming, therefore, is having a greater impact on clubs whilst supporters are unable to attend matches. The EFL and its clubs could potentially lose around a third of income from illegal streaming this season, a figure which is potentially much higher when factoring in every illegal stream.
Statistics show that over half of sports fans consume sports content from pirate services at least once a month. Over 7,000 illegal EFL streams have been detected so far this season, with an average of 170 people viewing each stream, totalling almost 1.2million people. Supporters in the UK accessing streams via a VPN are also accessing the stream illegally.
Failure to comply with the terms set out when subscribing to live streams for the EFL is a serious breach and allows the ability to terminate the subscription. The EFL, and clubs streaming through their own services, have very similar rights in their terms and conditions.
The EFL and its clubs take piracy incredibly seriously, working with a specialist security agency to proactively seek out illegal streams on all formats and taking action against businesses and individuals.
Supporters are therefore encouraged to report any illegal streams, or pubs that may be showing EFL content unlawfully, by emailing [email protected]. All emails will be treated confidentially.
STAY AT HOME…
Derby County is continuing to urge supporters to stay away from stadiums when matches are played, with the UK Government advice remaining the same relating to playing behind-closed-doors at this time in the 2020/21 season.
Matches are still being played behind-closed-doors with the safety of supporters, club personnel and the frontline services remaining the principle priority at this time.
Consequently, supporters will not be permitted entry to any area of the stadium and extra security measures around the immediate area including car parks will be in place when staging matches.
Supporters are also urged to maintain social distancing guidelines and avoid congregating outside stadiums or gathering to watch matches, as part of a new campaign message: ‘When we play, please stay away’ ahead of all EFL matches.
The club and the Derbyshire Constabulary are united in one message to fans - support the Rams and 'Watch From Home'.
