Derby County are back on the road on Tuesday evening as they make the trip to West London to take on Fulham at Craven Cottage in their latest Sky Bet Championship fixture (7:45pm kick-off).
Phillip Cocu’s side will be looking to build on Saturday's 1-0 home win over high-flying Preston North End when they make the trip south.
dcfc.co.uk has gathered all the information you will need ahead of the meeting with the Cottagers.
TEAM NEWS…
Midfielder Graeme Shinnie and forward Mason Bennett picked up injuries in the first-half of Saturday’s home victory over Preston North End and will miss the clash with Scott Parker’s side.
Shinnie injured his hamstring early on while Bennett sustained an ankle problem midway through the half.
The pair are due to undergo scans this week in order to determine how long they will be out of action for.
George Evans and Martyn Waghorn, who scored the winner against Preston, are in line to start.
Elsewhere, defenders Scott Malone and Matt Clarke are again ruled out with knee injuries so Craig Forsyth, fresh from making his comeback at the weekend after a year out with a serious knee injury, could retain his place in central defence.
Midfielder Tom Huddlestone (hamstring) and the versatile Ikechi Anya (calf) remain out of action.
WHAT THE BOSS HAD TO SAY…
“To get a positive result on the road is our next goal,” manager Phillip Cocu said when speaking to RamsTV in the lead-up to the game.
“We have shown in the home games that we can get good results and play good football. Even a few times we were unlucky at the start of the season in some of our games, both home and away.
“We are doing well at Pride Park and if we really want to step up towards our ambition, we need to find a way to get results away from home.
“With the staff and the team, we have been working to find a plan that works against Fulham.
“That is key at the moment because we can’t rely on all season on home games because we will face a few difficult matches at Pride Park as well.
“There will also be moments away from home where things will go better.”TICKET INFORMATION…
