TEAM NEWS: Hull City Vs Derby County

Derby County’s starting line-up has been confirmed for their penultimate Sky Bet Championship clash of the 2024/25 season against Hull City at the MKM Stadium (3pm kick-off).

Rams Head Coach John Eustace has named an unchanged starting XI from the side that began the game at The Hawthorns on Bank Holiday Monday and claimed a 3-1 victory over then-play-off-chasing West Bromwich Albion.

Josh Vickers made his second consecutive league start when he took his place in goal against the Baggies, with Jacob Widell Zetterström ruled out for the rest of the season with a facial injury. Vickers will be between the sticks once more for Derby this afternoon.

Ebou Adams netted the opening goal at The Hawthorns and will once again captain the Rams when they walk out onto the MKM Stadium pitch.

Jerry Yates will feature for the 41st time this term after he netted his tenth goal of the season in the West Midlands on Monday.

Midfielder Liam Thompson is lined up to make his 105th club appearance after he returned to the starting line-up against West Brom. He will feature for the 27th time in the second tier this term.

Liverpool loanee defender Nat Phillips will also notch up his 31st game in Derby colours since joining the club on deadline day of the summer window.

There are also welcome returns on the bench for Corey Blackett-Taylor and Kemar Roofe after spells out injured.
