Derby County’s Under-21s will take on Stoke City in their latest Premier League 2 - Division 2 fixture on Monday evening.
The Under-21s will host the Potters at Loughborough University Stadium (7pm kick-off) and dcfc.co.uk has brought together all the key information you will need to know ahead of the game.
Team News...
Defender Max Bardell is back in action after recently recovering from a hamstring injury, while a number of Under-21s squad members are out on loan in non-league football and therefore will not be in Pat Lyons' squad.
First-team defender James Chester, who returned to full training last month after picking up a calf injury in January, could feature to get some match minutes under his belt.
Midfielder Osazee Aghatise must serve the first game of his suspension following his sending off in the Derbyshire Senior Cup Semi-Final against Belper Town for violent conduct.
The Season So Far...
The Under-21s ended their long wait for their first point of the season in Premier League 2 - Division 2 with a 1-1 draw at Sunderland last month, with winger Sonny Blu Lo-Everton scoring a dramatic late equaliser in the North East.
The draw ended the Under-21s' run of 12 straight losses in the league
this term, with Pat Lyons having a young and inexperienced squad to
select from, and they are now eight points adrift of Stoke in 10th place with two games in hand.
Outside of the league, the Under-21s have enjoyed success in cup
competitions this term and reached the last 16 of the Premier League Cup
before tasting defeat to local rivals Nottingham Forest in February,
while they will host National League - North side Buxton FC at Pride
Park Stadium in the Final of the Derbyshire Senior Cup in April.
