Derby County Head Coach Paul Warne has named an unchanged line-up for this afternoon’s Emirates FA Cup First Round tie at Sky Bet League Two promotion chasers Crewe Alexandra (2:45pm kick-off).


Warne has stuck with the same starting line-up from the 4-0 Sky Bet League One victory against Northampton Town at Pride Park Stadium on Tuesday evening.

Derby are able to nine substitutes in the FA Cup so defender Eiran Cashin returns to the squad as a substitute after suspension while Under-21s midfielder Darren Robinson joins him on the bench.

Striker Martyn Waghorn remains out of action with a slight hamstring issue sustained in training at the end of last week, while Callum Elder is closing in on a return after undergoing hernia surgery in late September.


Warne is still without midfielder Liam Thompson, on-loan Arsenal striker Tyreese John-Jules, Sunderland loanee and midfielder Elliot Embleton and defender Jake Rooney due to injury.

Crewe Alexandra: Davies (GK), Cooney, Offord (C), O'Riordan, Demetriou, Billington, White, Thomas, Adebisi, Baker-Richardson, Nevitt.

Substitutes: Booth (GK), Colkett, Rowe, Nolan, Robinson, Aguis.

Derby County: Wildsmith (GK), Forsyth, Hourihane (C), Bradley, Barkhuizen, Bird, Mendez-Laing, Smith, Washington, Nyambe, Nelson.

Substitutes: Vickers (GK), Wilson, Cashin, Collins, Sibley, Fornah, Ward, Robinson, Brown.
