Derby make nine changes for Southport tie

Derby County manager Steve McClaren has made sweeping changes to his starting lineup ahead of the club's match with Southport in the FA Cup third round.

Nine alterations have been made in total, with Lee Naylor being handed his full debut at left-back and Paul Coutts starting his first match under McClaren.
