3/1 To Win
Manager Wayne Rooney has made four changes from the side which suffered a cruel defeat against Sheffield United on Saturdya for this evening’s Sky Bet Championship clash against Reading (7:45pm kick-off).
There are two enforced changes for the Rams as goalkeeper Kelle Roos serves his one-game suspension following his dismissal against the Blades on Saturday. Ryan Allsop comes in to make his full league debut for the Rams tonight.
Meanwhile, defender Phil Jagielka misses out against the Royals with a minor muscle injury and is replaced in the starting line-up by Richard Stearman.
Jason Knight comes in to replace Louie Sibley, whilst the other change comes in defence as Craig Forsyth is recalled to the starting XI as Lee Buchanan moves to the substitutes' bench.
Sam Baldock, who spent three years with the Royals, faces his former club in attack.
Derby County: Allsop (GK), Byrne, Forsyth, Shinnie, Bird, Baldock, Lawrence (C), Morrison, Stearman, Davies, Knight.
Substitutes: Marshall (GK), Jozwiak, Sibley, Buchanan, Stretton, Watson, Williams.
Reading: Southwood, Halilovic, Swift, Ejaria, Drinkwater, Tetek, Yiadom (C), Dele-Bashiru, Rahman, Laurent, Puscas.
Substitutes: Cabral, Hoilett, Dann, Ehibhatiomhan, Stickland, Clarke, Bristow.
