Derby County team news and predicted XI to face Stoke City
Derby County take on Stoke City away from home this weekend as the Rams continue their search for a first Championship away win of the season.
Derby County drew 1-1 with Hull City in their last outing, stretching their unbeaten run to four matches in doing so. Paul Warne might have hoped for a higher point return, however, following three successive draws.
The Rams initially found themselves a goal behind after Xavier Simons broke the deadlock in the 57th minute, but Dajaune Brown’s first goal for the club ensured things ended level at Pride Park.
Yet to win on their travels this term, Warne’s side will be hoping to turn their fortunes around when they face the Potters at the bet365 Stadium this afternoon.
Three changes were made to the starting lineup last time out and eyes will now be peeled on the Derby County boss’ next team selection.

Academy graduate Brown received all the plaudits after his looping header drew the Rams level last weekend, but he was shortly substituted after an apparent knock during his cameo.
Reporter Dominic Dietrich confirmed that the 19-year-old should be ‘ready’ if needed to face Stoke, whilst confirming Joe Ward was also ‘okay’ and had trained with the squad.
