Team News: Jake Buxton returns for Derby County

Buxton returns for Derby

Derby County manager Steve McClaren has made one change to his side for this evening's Championship encounter with Leeds United at the iPro Stadium.

Jake Buxton returns after suspension and comes straight back into the side for the Rams, with Ryan Shotton the man to make way.

Johnny Russell, Jordon Ibe and Chris Martin once again fill the three attacking roles having all got on the scoresheet during the 4-0 victory over Birmingham City last time out.

Leeds, meanwhile, make two changes of their own from the side that was beaten 2-0 at home to Wigan Athletic on Boxing Day.

Souleymane Doukara replaces Billy Sharp up front, while Rudolph Austin starts in midfield having come off the bench at half time during the defeat to the Latics.

Defender Sam Byram makes his 100th appearance for the club as Neil Redfearn's side attempt to end a four-match winless streak.

Derby: Grant; Christie, Keogh, Buxton, Forsyth; Eustace, Hendrick, Hughes; Russell, Ibe, Martin Subs: Roos, Bryson, Dawkins, Coutts, Best, Shotton, Mascarell

Leeds: Silvestri; Byram, Bellusci, Cooper, Warnock; Austin, Bianchi, Mowatt, Cook; Antenucci, Doukara Subs: S Taylor, Berardi, Del Fabro, Tonge, Adryan, Montenegro, Sharp
