Paul Warne has selected his starting line-up for today’s Sky Bet Championship clash with Bristol City at Pride Park Stadium (3pm kick-off).
Centre-back Eiran Cashin returns to the starting line-up after being sidelined for a fortnight due to a concussion injury he sustained in the 1-0 home win against Middlesbrough.
Summer signing Jerry Yates will make his first competitive appearance at Pride Park Stadium after serving a three-match suspension he picked up at the end of last season for Swaansea City. He made his first appearance away from home against Watford at Vicarage Road last week.
Jacob Widell Zetterström and recent Wolverhampton Wanderers loanee Tawanda Chirewa will also feature in their first fixtures on home soil for the Rams.
Deadline day signings Nat Phillips and Marcus Harness were registered after the 12pm deadline, so they are unavailable for selection against the Robins.
Jake Rooney (knee) and Kane Wilson (hamstring) remain on the sidelines as they continue their rehabilitation.
