Team News: Four changes for Derby County at Birmingham City

Derby County manager Paul Clement has made four changes to his side for the trip to face Birmingham City in the Championship at St Andrew's.

Cyrus Christie and Craig Forysth are recalled in defence, Johnny Russell returns in midfield after coming on to rescue a late point for the Rams last weekend, and Darren Bent is preferred to Andreas Weimann as Chris Martin's partner up front.

Jamie Hanson, Jeff Hendrick and Jake Buxton are ruled out through injury, while Stephen Warnock drops to the bench with Weimann.

For Birmingham, Arsenal loanee Jon Toral and captain Michael Morrison have both shaken off hamstring injuries to keep their places in the team, while the game comes too soon for new striker Nicolai Brock-Madsen, who was signed earlier today.

Birmingham City: Kuszczak; Caddis, Spector, Morrison, Grounds; Kieftenbeld, Gleeson, Cotterill, Toral; Gray, Donaldson Subs: Legzdins, Eardley, Robinson, Thomas, Maghoma, Shinnie, Davis

Derby County: Carson; Christie, Forsyth, Keogh, Shackell; Baird, Russell, Ince, Thorne; Bent, Martin Subs: Grant, Dawkins, Pearce, Weimann, Calero, Shotton, Warnock
