TEAM NEWS: Derby County Vs Middlesbrough

Paul Warne has named his Derby County starting line-up for this afternoon’s Sky Bet Championship clash with Middlesbrough (12:30pm kick-off).

The Rams will play their first Championship fixture on home soil in over two years, after promotion from Sky Bet League One last season and are looking to get their first points on the board after falling to defeat in their opening game of the campaign against Blackburn Rovers last Friday.

Warne has made six changes from the side he named in last Tuesday night’s Carabao Cup Round One win over Chesterfield.

Derby’s newest signing Jacob Widell Zetterström will be on the bench for the Rams after flying into the country for his unveiling and joining up with the squad yesterday.

Jerry Yates is serving the final match of his three-game suspension, picked up when playing for Swansea City on the final day of last season. Jake Rooney (knee) and Corey Blackett-Taylor (quad) are both still recovering from their respective injuries.
