Rooney Makes Two Changes For Millwall Clash

Manager Wayne Rooney has made two changes to the side which beat Peterborough United on Saturday for this evening’s Sky Bet Championship clash against Millwall (7:45pm kick-off).


The Rams are aiming for back-to-back victories on home turf as they entertain the Lions at Pride Park Stadium.

Rooney has made two changes to the side which beat Posh on Saturday as Louie Sibley has been rewarded with a start.

The Academy graduate struck in the second minute of additional time to secure all three points and he replaces skipper Tom Lawrence, who serves the first of his three match suspension and Curtis Davies captains the Rams tonight

The other change comes at left back as Lee Buchanan is preferred to Craig Forsyth who moves to the substitute’s bench.

Defender Richard Stearman is now available after serving his three-game suspension following his dismissal against Huddersfield Town, but is named on the bench.

Following an impressive full debut on Saturday, defender Eiran Cashin is handed his second start in as many games. He is one of seven Academy graduates in the starting line-up.

Colin Kazim-Richards returns to the matchday squad after recovering from a calf injury, which has ruled him out since the end of January.

Derby County: Allsop, Byrne, Bielik, Bird, Sibley, Buchanan, Davies (C), Ebosele, Knight, Cashin, Plange.

Substitutes: Roos, Forsyth, Morrison, Kazim-Richards, Stearman, Ebiowei, Thompson.

Millwall: Bialkowski, McNamara, Wallace, Hutchinson (C), Cooper, Wallace, Malone, Saville, Bennett, Mitchell, Burey.

Substitutes: Long, Pearce, Ballard, Evans, Mahoney, Briscoe, Lovelace.
