3/1 To Win
Andreas Weimann makes his first start since the 1-1 draw with Birmingham City in this evening’s Sky Bet Championship clash with Queens Park Rangers, kick-off: 7:45pm.
The 26-year-old, who scored the winner against the Rs in November 2015, replaces Bradley Johnson, who misses out on tonight’s clash with that hamstring problem sustained in the 1-1 stalemate at Fulham on Saturday.
Tom Lawrence, however, is passed fit to keep his place in the starting line-up, whilst Andre Wisdom is named on the substitutes bench.
George Thorne returns to the matchday fold, whilst Luke Thomas is also named in reserve in place of Sam Winnall, with the on-loan Sheffield Wednesday forward ruled out with an ankle problem.
Notably, tonight’s game will see David Nugent make his 450th career start, whilst top scorer Matej Vydra, who scored the winner when these two sides met in March, makes his 50th Rams outing.
Derby County: Carson, Baird, Keogh (C), Davies, Forsyth; Huddlestone, Ledley; Weimann, Vydra, Lawrence; Nugent
