John Eustace has confirmed Derby County’s starting line-up for their Sky Bet Championship clash with Portsmouth at Fratton Park this afternoon (3pm kick-off).

Sondre Langås will make his tenth Derby appearance at the heart of defence against Portsmouth and he will once again be alongside Nat Phillips and Matt Clarke.
