Rooney Makes Six Changes For Cardiff Clash

The Rams' boss has made six changes to the starting line-up following the 1-1 draw against Nottingham Forest at Pride Park Stadium on Friday.

There is one enforced change as Kelle Roos replaces David Marshall in goal, who suffered a back injury in the first-half of the game against the Reds.

Everton loanee Beni Baningime makes his first start for the Rams tonight, whilst fellow deadline day signing George Edmundson returns to the side.

There is also a start for striker Lee Gregory and Teden Mengi, who also joined the Rams at the start of February, whilst youngster Louie Sibley returns to make his first start since the New Year’s Day defeat to Sheffield Wednesday.

Nathan Byrne, Max Bird, Jason Knight, Martyn Waghorn and Colin Kazim-Richards all revert to the substitute’s bench.

Cardiff City: Phillips, Bennett, Morrison (C), Flint, Vaulks, Bacuna, Moore, Nelson, Pack, Ojo, Ng.

Substitutes: Smithies, Ralls, Murphy, Williams, Wilson, Harris, Bagan, Hoilett, Colwill.

Derby County: Roos, Wisdom (C), Shinnie, Edmundson, Jozwiak, Mengi, Clarke, Sibley, Gregory, Buchanan, Baningime.
