Head Coach John Eustace has confirmed Derby County’s starting line-up for their Carabao Cup Round Two tie at Premier League side Burnley (7:45pm kick-off).
The Rams side sees eight changes from the line-up that began in Friday’s 1-1 draw in the Sky Bet Championship against Bristol City at Pride Park Stadium.
Joe Ward will start after he scored a vital equalising free-kick against West Bromwich Albion in Round One to take the game to a penalty shoot-out at the Hawthorns.
Goalkeeper Josh Vickers will also take to the Turf Moor pitch after his penalty-saving heroics against the Baggies earlier this month.
Rhian Brewster came from the bench to make his debut for the club against the Robins four days ago, having signed for the Rams after leaving Sheffield United over the summer. He will make his first start in a Derby shirt against Burnley tonight.
Right-sider Kane Wilson returns to the bench after a period on the sidelines following the conclusion of the 2024/25 campaign.
