Interim Manager Liam Rosenior has made four changes to his Derby County starting line-up for this evening’s Sky Bet League One fixture at Lincoln City (7:45pm kick-off).


After a ten-day break between matches owing to the sad passing of Her Majesty, The Queen Elizabeth II last week, the Rams are back in action with their first league clash against the Imps since 1986.

The stand-out piece of team news is that skipper and reigning Jack Stamps Player of the Season Curtis Davies returns to the side after around a month on the sidelines with a muscle injury.

Also coming into the team are Haydon Roberts, Louie Sibley and Lewis Dobbin with Richard Stearman, Craig Forsyth, Tom Barkhuizen and David McGoldrick making way onto the substitutes’ bench.

Lincoln City: Rushworth (GK), Poole (C), Bishop, Garrick, O’Connor, House, Sorensen, Eyoma, Roughan, Virtue, Diamond.

Substitutes: Jackson, Vernam, Oakley-Boothe, Robson, Davenport, Wright (GK), Gallagher.

Derby County: Wildsmith (GK), Hourihane, Cashin, Bird, Collins, Mendez-Laing, Roberts, Sibley, Dobbin, Davies (C), Knight.

Substitutes: Loach (GK), Stearman, Forsyth, Thompson, Barkhuizen, McGoldrick, Osula.
