TEAM NEWS…
Derby’s squad has no fresh injury or suspension concerns ahead of their second league fixture on home turf inside four days.
Goalkeeper David Marshall missed Saturday's 1-0 home defeat to Rotherham United due to illness and it is hoped, should he recover in time, that he could return to the fold against the Cherries.
Centre-back Curtis Davies had surgery on a long-term achilles injury last month and is to spend a lengthy spell out of action.
Forward Tom Lawrence is set to miss out again with an ankle injury that has kept him out of action for the last month.
Young striker Jack Stretton is currently working his way back to fitness after a spell out of the team due to a groin injury.
PRE-MATCH THOUGHTS…
Speaking to RamsTV ahead of Tuesday's game, Assistant Manager Liam Rosenior said: “Bournemouth are a very good side and have Premier League players and Premier League quality but we have shown, especially in the game against Swansea recently, that when we are organised and play with intensity and a bit of belief, we can beat any team in this league.
“Sometimes when you have a poor performance, like we had on Saturday against Rotherham, it actually comes at the right time to shock everyone back to what we need to get back to.
“That is the message we have given to the players on the training ground to remind them of why we have been in a good period of form of late and why, if you come off that level, you can be found out by any team in this league.
“We want to see a reaction and we believe in the players. I believe we have got a really good set of characters who want to set the record straight and put it right."
More pre-match comments from Rosenior and midfielder Graeme Shinnie can be found across dcfc.co.uk and also on RamsTV.
WHO IS THE MAN IN THE MIDDLE…
Oliver Langford will be in charge of Tuesday's game at Pride Park Stadium.
Langford has overseen 17 games so far this season and produced a total of 74 yellow cards and three red cards.
His
last Derby game was the 1-1 draw at home to Wycombe Wanderers at the end of November.
Langford will be assisted by James Wilson and Craig Taylor on the lines, whilst Samuel Barrott has been appointed as the fourth official.
EFL SUBSTITUTES RULE…
Following consultation with clubs, the EFL Board has agreed to increase the permitted number of substitutes to five in all Sky Bet EFL fixtures for the remainder of the 2020/21 season.
Regulation 33.4 has been amended to permit:
* Championship Clubs to name up to nine substitutes in their matchday squad, with five permitted to take to the pitch in any fixture.
* League One and League Two Clubs can name up to seven substitutes in their match day squad, again with five permitted to take to the pitch.
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.
ONLINE PIRACY…
The EFL, alongside all 72 of its member clubs, has launched a campaign aimed at discouraging the illegal streaming of fixtures, warning that doing so will take vital revenue away from clubs
The outbreak of COVID-19 and subsequent behind-closed-doors matches mean that income generated by streaming matches is more important than ever and remains one of the only income streams available at this challenging time.
Illegal streaming, therefore, is having a greater impact on clubs whilst supporters are unable to attend matches. The EFL and its clubs could potentially lose around a third of income from illegal streaming this season, a figure which is potentially much higher when factoring in every illegal stream.
Statistics show that over half of sports fans consume sports content from pirate services at least once a month. Over 7,000 illegal EFL streams have been detected so far this season, with an average of 170 people viewing each stream, totalling almost 1.2million people. Supporters in the UK accessing streams via a VPN are also accessing the stream illegally.
Failure to comply with the terms set out when subscribing to live streams for the EFL is a serious breach and allows the ability to terminate the subscription. The EFL, and clubs streaming through their own services, have very similar rights in their terms and conditions.
The EFL and its clubs take piracy incredibly seriously, working with a specialist security agency to proactively seek out illegal streams on all formats and taking action against businesses and individuals.
Supporters are therefore encouraged to report any illegal streams, or pubs that may be showing EFL content unlawfully, by emailing piracy@efl.com. All emails will be treated confidentially.
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 in 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'.
