Derby County head coach Paul Warne made three changes to his starting XI for tonight's FA Cup clash at Leyton Orient knowing victory would secure a fascinating home fourth-round tie against Manchester City.

In what looked a strong team, Corey Blackett-Taylor, Craig Forsyth and Dajaune Brown are included in the team at the expense of Kayden Jackson and Callum Elder who drop to the bench. Jerry Yates is not included in the squad.

In what is expected to be a back four, Jacob Widell Zetterstrom will play behind the quartet of right-back Kane Wilson, centre-back pairing Curtis Nelson and Nat Phillips and left-back Craig Forsyth.

In midfield, which is unchanged from the Derby team which lost 1-0 to Bristol City, Liam Thompson and Kenzo Goudmijn are expected to play as the pivots in a 4-2-3-1 formation.

While Ebou Adams is back fit after a concussion, he is only on the bench, perhaps with a view to keeping him fully fresh for the visit of Watford at the weekend.

Playing as the number 10 behind the striker is Marcus Harness, while the flanks will be occupied by Blackett-Taylor and Nathaniel Mendez-Laing. Up front, Brown will be handed the responsibility of leading the attack. Also on the bench is academy teenage winger Johnson Osong who makes his first appearance with the first-team squad this season.

Derby: Zetterstrom, Wilson, Nelson, Phillips, Forsyth; Thompson, Goudmijn; Mendez-Laing, Harness, Blackett-Taylor; Brown

Subs: Vickers, Rooney, Barkhuizen, Collins, Jackson, Elder, Adams, Osborn, Osong
