TEAM NEWS: West Bromwich Albion Vs Derby County

Derby County’s starting line-up for their Easter Monday clash with West Bromwich Albion at the Hawthorns this afternoon has been confirmed (3pm kick-off).

Head Coach John Eustace has made one change from the side that faced Luton Town on Good Friday.

Josh Vickers remains the man between the sticks for the second game in a row, after Jacob Widell Zetterström suffered a facial injury in the 2-2 draw with Portsmouth just over a week ago.

Midfielder Liam Thompson returns to the starting line-up to make his 26th league appearance of the season. He comes in for Nathaniel Mendez-Laing, who will take a place on the bench after being forced off the field with a facial injury in the 15th minute against Luton on Friday.

Former Baggies defender Matt Clarke spent the 2021/22 season on loan with the West Midlands outfit from Brighton & Hove Albion and will start again today as he makes his 14th league appearance of the season in the backline for Derby after signing from Middlesbrough in January.
