Rooney Makes One Change For AFC Bournemouth Clash

Manager Wayne Rooney has made one change to the side which beat Barnsley 2-0 last weekend for this afternoon’s Sky Bet Championship fixture against AFC Bournemouth (3pm kick-off).

The Rams make the long trip south looking to make it back-to-back wins in the league after victory over the Tykes at Pride Park Stadium seven days ago.

Ravel Morrison scored a double for Derby in the game, his first league goals of the campaign, and he retains his place in the starting line up against the Cherries.

Rooney makes only one change to his starting line-up as Lee Buchanan replaces Festy Ebosele, who moves to the substitute’s bench.

Elsewhere, Malcolm Ebiowei starts his second league game for the Rams whilst Craig Forsyth returns to the bench in place of Louie Sibley.

The Rams have already tasted success against Scott Parker’s side this season, winning 3-2 at Pride Park Stadium on a dramatic afternoon in November.

AFC Bournemouth: Travers, Phillips, Cook, Kelly (C), Lerma, Solanke, Christie, Cantwell, Stacey, Davis, Anthony.

Substitutes: Woodman, Marcondes, Lowe, Pearson, Cahill, Zemura, Dembele.

Derby County: Allsop, Byrne, Bielik, Bird, Lawrence (C), Morrison, Buchanan, Ebiowei, Davies, Cashin, Plange.

Substitutes: Roos, Forsyth, Kazim-Richards, Stearman, Ebosele, Knight, Thompson
