TEAM NEWS: Derby County Vs Plymouth Argyle

Derby County’s starting line-up for their Sky Bet Championship clash with Plymouth Argyle at Pride Park Stadium has been confirmed (3pm kick-off).

The Rams are looking to take their winning momentum into the upcoming international break after they beat Coventry City 2-1 away from home on Wednesday night.

Paul Warne’s side have gone unbeaten in five of their six matches at Pride Park in the Championship this season, losing only to Norwich City in September.

Opponents Plymouth sit 22nd in the division but enter the fixture after a 1-0 win over Portsmouth on Tuesday night and are three points behind the Rams.

Midfielder Liam Thompson remains in the starting picture after he got his first league start of the season and impressed against the Sky Blues in midweek.

Nathaniel Mendez-Laing will don the captain’s armband against the Pilgrims after coming on as a second half substitute against Coventry.

Defender Eiran Cashin is unavailable for selection as he serves a one-match suspension after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season in the Rams’ last outing, while left-back Callum Elder has a groin issue.
