TEAM NEWS…

Skipper Tom Lawrence will begin a three-match ban following his red card in Saturday’s 1-0 home win against Peterborough United. As well as the match against the Lions, he will also sit out the away fixtures at Luton Town and Cardiff City.

Defender Lee Buchanan missed the win over Peterborough with a slight knock and he is expected to return to the matchday squad after resuming training.

Defender Richard Stearman is available for selection after serving a three-match ban for his recent red card in the 2-0 defeat at Huddersfield Town and will return to the matchday squad.

Striker Colin Kazim-Richards could return to the squad after missing the Rams' last three matches with a calf problem. He has been stepping up his workload in recent days and could make the bench against the Lions.

Winger Kamil Jozwiak will again miss out with an ankle injury sustained in the 2-2 draw at home to Birmingham City at the end of January. The Poland international is expected to be out of action for several weeks.

MANAGER'S THOUGHTS…

Manager Wayne Rooney offered his pre-match views to RamsTV and he said: “Saturday was a big win for us.

“It was a tough game in terms of it being energy sapping and we have had to look after the players since then to get ready for Wednesday.

“Millwall are a good team and difficult to play against so we will have to make sure we are ready for the challenges and make sure we give our best account of ourselves to try and get the win.

“They have got some good, experienced players mixed with a bit of energy as well so we know we will have to be at our best to win the game.”

FROM THE DRESSING ROOM…

Defender Eiran Cashin spoke to RamsTV at Moor Farm Training Ground as the Rams prepare to host the Lions in their latest midweek fixture under the Pride Park floodlights.

“Everyone is believing,” he admitted. “We don’t want to get ahead of ourselves because there are loads of games coming up and there are still points to be earned but we are starting to believe.

“Everyone around the club is, fans, staff, players up and down the Academy, everyone is believing we can do it and everyone is on the same page.”

MATCH OFFICIALS…

Jeremy Simpson will oversee Wednesday night's game at Pride Park.

Simpson has overseen 23 games so far this season in all competitions, showing 99 yellow cards and five red cards.

His last match featuring the Rams was the 2-1 home defeat to Queens Park Rangers in November, while he also took charge of the side's 2-1 home win over Stoke City in September.

He will be assisted by Lee Venamore and Richard Wild on the lines, whilst Keith Stroud has been appointed as the fourth official.

EFL SUBSTITUTE RULES…

The five substitutions rule has been scrapped for the 2021/22 season, the English Football League confirmed in July.

The rule allowing clubs to make five changes, as opposed to the usual three, was brought in following football's restart in June 2020 after a break due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Given that games had to be condensed into a short period of time it was thought beneficial and allowed managers to make as many as five changes in three intervals during a match.

Clubs had a longer post-break between seasons this time around and so the temporary rule has been changed.

Teams will be able to name seven substitutes but only use a maximum of three.

STREAMING INFORMATION…

With COVID-19 capacity restrictions lifted and EFL fixtures being played in front of full crowds once again, the temporary change in streaming rules is no longer valid.
