TEAM NEWS: Derby County vs Oxford United

Derby County’s line-up for their penultimate home match of the 2025/26 Sky Bet Championship season has been confirmed.

John Eustace has made three changes from the side that fell to a narrow defeat against in-form Southampton on the road last weekend.

Goalkeeper Jacob Widell Zetterström will start between the sticks at Pride Park for his 29th Championship appearance, returning after injury.

Left-back Derry Murkin comes back into the fold after being rested as a precautionary measure at St. Mary’s a week ago.

On-loan winger Brereton Díaz returns to the starting picture after being ineligible for selection against parent club Southampton last weekend. The Chilean international will make his 37th league outing of the season.

The Rams will be searching for their sixth consecutive home win in the league, after a 2-0 win against Stoke City at Pride Park on Easter Monday continued their long perfect home record.
