Team News: Oxford United Vs Derby County

Derby County Head Coach Paul Warne has named an unchanged starting XI from the side that beat Wigan Athletic 1-0 on Boxing Day for the final game of 2023 this evening (7:45pm kick-off).

The only change from the entire squad comes on the bench and that sees Liam Thompson selected amongst the seven substitutes in place of fellow midfielder Tyrese Fornah.

Defender Sonny Bradley is fit enough to be named among the substitutes after taking a heroic whack to the face in the final stages of the victory at Wigan.
