Striker Colin Kazim-Richards will again miss out after picking up an ankle injury in the side's 3-1 loss at Blackburn Rovers in March. He is set to miss the rest of the season as a result and is working his way back to fitness.
MANAGER'S THOUGHTS…
Manager Wayne Rooney offered his pre-match views to RamsTV following the Easter Friday win over Fulham at Pride Park Stadium.
He said: “Every game now is must-win, we know
that.
"We will give it a go; we know we are a good enough team to win
matches so we will do everything to make it happen.”
FROM THE DRESSING ROOM…
Striker Luke Plange spoke to RamsTV after scoring in the 2-1 Easter Friday victory over league leaders Fulham at Pride Park Stadium.
He said: “All the points matter in every single game, so
helping the team get three points is the main thing.
"We willl keep going until the end and get as many points as we can to try and stay up in the division.”
MATCH OFFICIALS…
Josh Smith will oversee the Bank Holiday Monday fixture.
Smith has overseen 35 games so far this season in all competitions, showing 137 yellow cards and four red cards.
His
last Derby match was the 0-0 draw at Preston North End back in October.
Smith will be assisted by Adam Crysell and Sam Lewis on the lines, whilst Andy Woolmer 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is no longer valid.
