Derby County’s starting line-up for tonight’s Sky Bet Championship clash with Sunderland at Pride Park Stadium has been confirmed (7:45pm kick-off).


Head Coach Paul Warne named a line-up with three changes from the side that began Saturday’s game against Watford, which ended in a 2-0 loss.

Centre-back Eiran Cashin isn’t risked, as a precaution, having only just returned from a month out with a hamstring injury.

Fellow centre-back Curtis Nelson sustained a cruciate ligament injury during the Rams clash with Watford. He will be out for the remainder of the season as he begins his rehabilitation.

Defender Craig Forsyth andmidfielders Liam Thompson and Marcus Harness come into the side, while striker Lars-Jorgen Salvesen will start on the bench for the first time after signing for the club last week.
