Derby County are set to take on Wigan Athletic in the first of four games at Pride Park Stadium on Tuesday, kick-off 7:45pm.
Frank Lampard’s side will look to return to their winning ways when they face the Latics in the rearranged fixture due to the Rams’ FA Cup run. Here, dcfc.co.uk has gathered all the information you will need ahead of the meeting with Paul Cook’s side.
TEAM NEWS…
Harry Wilson is fully fit after an illness last week limited him to a substitute appearance against Aston Villa.
David Nugent will also be available for selection after missing Saturday’s match.
The game will come too soon for Mason Mount, Tom Lawrence and Craig Bryson.
WHAT THE BOSS HAD TO SAY…
“We need a reaction now,” Lampard told RamsTV. “If we work hard and believe in ourselves in what we have got here then we will turn that corner.
“This is the first real question we have been asked so it’s up to the players now to show against Wigan that we have pride and determination in us. A hard-fought win against a difficult Wigan team can change it, of course it can.
We need to produce on the pitch and the players know that.
“We do want to look upwards and we’ve managed to stay in contention for a big part of the season so now it’s the critical time and the test.”

WHAT’S TO COME IN THE RAM…

Spanning six pages, we spoke to the midfielder about his journey to from Huddersfield to Derby County, how he is settling in with the Rams and his friendship with fellow midfielder Tom Huddlestone.

THE LAST MEETING…
Wigan Athletic 0-1 Derby County
Saturday 8th December 2018
Jack Marriott returned from injury to head in the only goal of the game in the 21st minute from Jayden Bogle’s cross.
Five minutes before, the Latics were reduced to ten men after Kal Naismith was shown red for hauling down Harry Wilson as he ran onto Marriott’s through ball.
Wilson almost doubled the Rams’ lead however his shot was cleared off the line by Nathan Byrne, while Josh Windass had an effort ruled offside which would have levelled the score for the home side.
WHO’S THE MAN IN THE MIDDLE…
Tony Harrington will be the man in the middle under the lights at Pride Park. So far this term he has taken charge of 25 matches producing 95 yellow cards and one straight red.
Tuesday night will be the first time he has officiated a fixture involving the Rams so far this season.
Harrington will be assisted by Paul Hodskinson and Mark Dwyer on the lines, whilst Jeremy Simpson has been appointed as the fourth official.
