TEAM NEWS…
Derby boss Phillip Cocu has no fresh injury concerns ahead of Saturday’s game at Carrow Road, but he could shuffle his pack after the 4-0 home defeat to Blackburn Rovers last weekend.
Max Bird picked up a knock against Rovers, which saw him replaced in the second half, but he has shaken the problem off and is expected to be available.
Tom Lawrence (shoulder), Martyn Waghorn (calf) and Krystian Bielik (knee) are making good progress in their rehabilitation work but are not yet available for selection.
Recent signing Jordon Ibe will not be involved as he is still building up his sharpness after joining the club at the end of September as a free agent.
PRE-MATCH THOUGHTS…
Speaking to RamsTV ahead of Saturday's game, Derby boss Phillip Cocu said:
“Norwich are a big team with quality players, but we all know in the Championship that anything is possible.
“We have to believe in ourselves. We have respect for our opponent, we know they have the qualities within their team, but we also believe in what we can do we are tough to beat.
“We will have that mentality when we travel to the game, to be tough to beat and try to explore our qualities within the team and fight until the last second to get a good result.”
More pre-match comments from Derby's manager can be found across dcfc.co.uk and also on RamsTV.
SUBSTITUTE RULES…
A temporary matchday rule was put in place for the final nine games of the 2019/20 season, following the resumption of the season after a three-month suspension, when it came to substitutes in games.
Clubs were allowed to make up to five changes over the course of 90 minutes from a possible nine players.
This has now reverted back to the traditional three substitutions being allowed for the 2020/21 campaign, with seven substitutes permitted to be named.
GOAL LINE TECHNOLOGY…
Goal line technology is, once again, being used at all Sky Bet Championship matches during the 2020/21 season.
The system was introduced for the start of the 2017/18 campaign and is now entering its fourth full season in the division.
WHO’S THE MAN IN THE MIDDLE…
Stuart Atwell will be the man in the middle at Carrow Road on Saturday.
Premier League official Atwell has taken charge of three matches so far this season; two in the Premier League and one in the Europa League. In those games, he has shown 17 yellow cards and no reds.
Atwell's last
Derby fixture was the Carabao Cup Third Round clash at Manchester United
in the 2018/19 season, with Derby knocking the Premier League giants
out the competition on penalties after a 2-2 draw in normal time.
Atwell will be assisted by Neil Davies and Marc Perry on the lines, whilst Charles Breakspear has been appointed as the fourth official.
STAY AT HOME…
Derby County is continuing to urge supporters to stay away from stadiums when matches are played, with the UK Government advice remaining the same relating to playing behind-closed-doors at this time going into the 2020/21 season.
Matches are still being played behind-closed-doors with the safety of supporters, club personnel and the frontline services remaining the principle priority at this time.
Consequently, supporters will not be permitted entry to any area of the stadium and extra security measures around the immediate area including car parks will be in place when staging matches.
Supporters are also urged to maintain social distancing guidelines and avoid congregating outside stadiums or gathering to watch matches, as part of a new campaign message: ‘When we play, please stay away’ ahead of all EFL matches.
The club and the Derbyshire Constabulary are united in one message to fans - support the Rams and 'Watch From Home'.
