Derby County’s Under-23s will be looking to pick up their first league win of 2022 in Premier League 2 - Division 1 when they host Everton on Monday evening.
The Under-23s will face the Toffees at Loughborough University Stadium (7pm kick-off) and dcfc.co.uk has brought together all the key information you will need to know ahead of the game.
Team News...
Winger Tyree Wilson has started the Under-23s' last two matches, against Manchester City in the league and Reading in the Premier League Cup, has he continues to build up his sharpness after recovering from a long-term lay-off with a knee injury - and he is set to feature once again.
Centre-back Harrison Solomon, who recently returned from a knee problem, has injured his hamstring and will miss out.
Midfielder Connor Dixon is still sidelined with an ankle injury which has kept him out for a number of weeks.
Right-back Kornell McDonald has a calf issue but is stepping up his rehabilitation work and edging closer to a return to the fold.
Pat Lyons is likely to have a young side to call upon with the likes of Eiran Cashin, Bartosz Cybulski and Malcolm Ebiowei in the first-team matchday squad against Peterborough United at the weekend and potentially involved in Wednesday's home clash with Millwall.

The Season So Far...
Derby's
Under-23s have played 17 games so far this term in Premier League 2 -
Division 1 and have registered four wins, two draw and 11 defeats.
They are four points adrift of safety after a strong run of form towards the end of 2021 to bring them into contention of getting out of the bottom two, while they have a game in hand which could see them narrow the gap on those above them.
Everton, who are ninth in the table with six wins, five draws and eight losses, were 1-0 winners when the sides met at Southport FC back in September.
