TEAM NEWS: Oxford United Vs Derby County

Derby County’s starting line-up for their Sky Bet Championship clash with Oxford United has been confirmed (12:30pm kick-off).

The Rams will take to the field at the Kassam Stadium with three changes to the line-up that began in their 1-1 draw against Southampton at Pride Park Stadium before the recent international break.

Ebou Adams starts alongside David Ozoh in the centre of the park, with Lewis Travis absent through injury. Adams, who reported for international duty with The Gambia last week, will captain the Rams.

Matt Clarke and Dion Sanderson will make their tenth Championship appearances of the season, having played every game in the league so far this term, while attacker Andi Weimann makes his 100th Derby County appearance.

Rhian Brewster makes his return to the Rams’ attack after coming on as a second-half substitute against the Saints, while on-loan forward Ben Brereton Díaz spent the international break on duty with Chile and scored against Peru in South America last weekend and is back in the side after being unable to play against his parent club two weeks ago.
