Derby County head coach Paul Warne made four changes to his starting line up as he went in search of a first away win in the Championship at Oxford United tonight.

Nathaniel Mendez-Laing, Ben Osborn, Kane Wilson and Callum Elder started the clash at the Kassam Stadium with Marcus Harness, Kayden Jackson and Craig Forsyth dropping to the bench. Ryan Nyambe is out injured.

The changes made by Warne are not likely to affect the formation with Derby set to play a 4-3-3 system with Jacob Widell Zetterstrom in goal behind the back four of Wilson, Curtis Nelson, Eiran Cashin and Elder.
