Derby County are back at Pride Park Stadium on Saturday when they face Wycombe Wanderers in Sky Bet League One (3pm kick-off).
In the lead-up to the game getting underway, dcfc.co.uk has brought together all the key information you need to know…
Tribute To Queen Elizabeth
Supporters will be able to pay tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II prior to kick-off at Pride Park Stadium.
Her Majesty served the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth with distinction prior to her passing last Thursday, with the meeting with the Chairboys being Derby's first on home turf since the sad news.
The match will be immediately preceded by a minute's silence and playing of the national anthem God Save The King, with players and coaching staff of both sides wearing black armbands.
Supporters are asked to be in their seats in good time to allow the pre-match tributes to be carried out in a timely and respectful manner.
Team News
Centre-back James Chester has returned to training last week after missing all of Derby’s matches so far this season with an achilles issue. He is yet to be involved in the matchday squad as he is building up his fitness.
Midfielder Korey Smith remains out of action with a toe problem that he sustained in the 2-1 home win over Peterborough United at the end of August. Smith is close to returning to training but the summer signing from Swansea City still needs time to allow his toe to heal before doing so.
On-loan West Ham United goalkeeper Joseph Anang suffered a hairline fracture to his arm in training last month and he is still waiting for the fracture
to heal before returning to training, although this isn’t expected for a number of weeks.
Defender Jake Rooney is also out of action after suffering a thigh strain in training and he is currently working his way back to full fitness.
Manager Views
Interim Manager Liam Rosenior sat down with RamsTV
in the lead-up to Saturday's game against the Chairboys.
He said: "Gareth Ainsworth has done a fantastic job at Wycombe. He’s built a real identity with the football club and the way they play but we have to stand up to that. We have to stand up to what they’ve done, they’ve had success.
"They were really unfortunate in the Play-Off Final against Sunderland in May; it was a tough game for them that day..
They will be doing their homework on us and we’ve done our homework on them and I think we need to make sure we need to stand up to the physical threat they pose as well as not just kicking the ball back to them. We need to get the ball down and being brave enough to play our way and if we do that we have a really good chance of getting a positive result."
From The Dressing Room
Goalkeeper Joe Wildsmith spoke to RamsTV to preview the meeting with Wycombe and also his season so far between the posts for Derby.
He said: "The fans fill the stadium out every week when we’re there and to have
that backing and atmosphere at home games it really helps us in terms
of creating almost a hostile environment for the other team as well. It
helps us both ways and it will be great to get back there and get
another good result on Saturday for the fans and for ourselves to get
back on that winning trend."

Samuel Barrott has been

Barrott is in his third season in the EFL, having previously taken charge of matches in the National League and further down the football ladder.

Subscriptions do not include any additional domestic cup or play-off matches, which must be purchased separately.
