Rooney Selects Side For Final Game Against Sheffield Wednesday

Manager Wayne Rooney has made one change to his Derby County side for this afternoon’s crucial Sky Bet Championship clash against Sheffield Wednesday (12:30pm kick-off).

All eyes are on Pride Park Stadium as Derby know a victory against the Owls will secure their status in the Championship for another season.

A draw could be enough, should Rotherham United fail to beat Cardiff City, whilst a defeat would see the Rams drop into Sky Bet League One.

It’s set to be a tense day and Rooney has made one change to the side which faced Swansea City a week ago as Patrick Roberts replaces Kamil Jozwiak, who reverts to the substitutes' bench.

Big news comes in the form of club captain Curtis Davies, who is named as a substitute and features in the matchday squad for the first time since suffering an Achilles injury against Brentford in December.

Derby County: Roos, Forsyth, Shinnie (C), Edmundson, Waghorn, Lawrence, Byrne, Kazim-Richards, Clarke, Roberts, Knight.

Substitutes: Marshall, Jozwiak, Bird, Sibley, Cashin, Buchanan, Ebosele, Davies, Watson.

Sheffield Wednesday: Westwood, Palmer, Paterson, Hutchinson, Pelupessy, Bannan (C), Reach, Borner, Windass, Rhodes, Dunkley.

Substitutes: Wildsmith, Harris, Green, Dele-Bashiru, Urhoghide, Shaw, Hunt, Brennan, Kachunga.
