It’s two changes from the team that won 1-0 against Cambridge United last time out with Tom Barkhuizen and Jason Knight both coming back into the starting XI.
Nathaniel Mendez-Laing reverts to the bench whilst James Collins misses out entirely with a minor issue.
Skipper Curtis Davies also isn’t risked after picking up a minor problem over the last few days.
There is however a welcome return to the bench for defender James Chester who is back involved for the first time since the end of October.
Derby County: Wildsmith (GK), Forsyth, Hourihane, Cashin, Barkhuizen, Bird (C), McGoldrick, Smith, Sibley, Dobbin, Knight
Substitutes: Loach (GK), Rooney, Mendez-Laing, Roberts, Thompson, Stearman, Osula
* James Chester was originally named on the bench but he has now been replaced by Jake Rooney.
Accrington Stanley: Savin (GK), Clark, Hamilton, Astley, Coyle, Whalley, Leigh, Rodgers, Longelo, Conneely (C), Fernandes
Substitutes: Jensen (GK), Nolan, Peritt, Martin, Woods, Adekoya, McConville
