Manager Frank Lampard has named an unchanged starting XI for the third game in a row for this afternoon’s Sky Bet Championship clash against Birmingham City (3pm kick-off).


The boss has named the same side which started the games against Blackburn Rovers and Bolton Wanderers.

That means Scott Malone misses out with a rib injury whilst Duane Holmes continues his rehabilitation work on a thigh injury.

On the bench, George Evans and David Nugent replace Max Bird and Florian Jozefzoon.

Mason Mount will be hoping to build on his hat-trick last weekend for this Good Friday clash, whilst the Rams will be hoping for a repeat of the 3-1 scoreline against the Blues at Pride Park Stadium earlier in the season.

Birmingham City: Camp, Pedersen, Colin, Adams, Jutkiewicz, Dean, Maghoma, Gary Gardner, Jota, Davis, Morrison.

Substitutes: Trueman, Roberts, Craig Gardner, Vassell, Mrabti, Lakin, Harding.

Derby County: Roos, Bryson, Tomori, Keogh, Wilson, Mount, Waghorn, Lawrence, Johnson, Cole, Bogle.

Substitutes: Carson, Wisdom, Huddlestone, Evans, Bennett, Marriott, Nugent.
