TEAM NEWS: Derby County Vs West Bromwich Albion

Derby County’s starting line-up has been confirmed for their Boxing Day Sky Bet Championship clash with West Bromwich Albion at Pride Park Stadium (5:30pm kick-off).

The Rams will return to home turf, where they won 4-0 against Portsmouth when they last played at Pride Park on Friday 13th December. They will be hoping to return to winning ways after falling to a late 2-1 defeat against Luton Town last Friday.

West Brom will enter the fixture under the management team of Chris Brunt, Damia Abella and Boaz Myhill overseeing the Baggies following Head Coach Carlos Corberan’s departure from the club on Christmas Eve - as he headed to join Spanish top-flight side Valencia.

Paul Warne’s Derby side sees two changes from the side that lined up against Luton six days ago.

Centre-back Nat Phillips will feature for the 16th time in the Championship this season and will be alongside Curtis Nelson in the heart of defence.

Winger Nathaniel Mendez-Laing will return to the starting picture and will don the captain's armband at Pride Park.

Marcus Harness entered the field as a second-half substitute against Luton and will make his eighth start and 17th appearance in the league for the Rams.
