Paul Warne chooses Callum Elder replacement as he names Derby County team to face Norwich
Latest Derby County news from Derbyshire Live brings you the team news from Pride Park as the Rams face the Canaries in a lunchtime kick-off
by Leigh Curtis · Derbyshire LivePaul Warne made just one change to his starting XI as Derby County went in search of victory against Norwich City at Pride Park this afternoon.
Looking to preserve a 100 per cent home record in the Championship, Craig Forsyth comes into the team to replace Callum Elder who is out of action until the international break with a groin injury.
That is the only alteration Warne has made to the team which lost 1-0 at much-fancied Sheffield United last weekend. In what is expected to be a 4-3-3 formation, Jacob Widell Zetterstrom is in goal behind the back four of Ryan Nyambe, Curtis Nelson, Eiran Cashin and Forsyth.
In the heart of midfield, Ebou Adams is expected to play in front of the back four with Kenzo Goudmijn and Ben Osborn expected to be further ahead of him.
Up front, Jerry Yates, who is still searching for his first goal, leads the line in attack and will be ably supported by Derby captain Nathaniel Mendez-Laing and Kayden Jackson on the flanks.
Warne does have plenty of options on the bench too with Kane Wilson, Sonny Bradley, James Collins, Nat Phillips, Marcus Harness, Corey Blackett-Taylor, Tawanda Chirewa, Josh Vickers and Dajaune Brown being the substitutes.
Derby: Zetterstrom, Nyambe, Nelson, Cashin, Forsyth; Adams, Osborn, Goudmijn; Mendez-Laing, Yates, Jackson.
Subs: Wilson, Bradley, Collins, Phillips, Harness, Blackett-Taylor, Chirewa, Vickers and Brown.
