Pre-match preview

Derby County

Derby have four fitness doubts to assess before Tuesday's visit from Norwich: Craig Forsyth, Matt Clarke, Lewis Travis and Patrick Agyemang. Max Johnston and Jack Robinson made their first starts of this run against Millwall, while Dion Sanderson did not feature after four previous starts. Sondre Langås remains out through injury.

In goal, Jacob Widell Zetterström is expected to start again after making two appearances in this spell, compared with three for Josh Vickers. Carlton Morris and Sammie Szmodics have started all five of Derby's recent matches, and Bobby Clark has scored once from the left. Charlie Taylor and Derry Murkin remain sidelined by injury.

Norwich City

Norwich City could be without both Pelle Mattsson and Kenny McLean in midfield at Derby County. Mattsson has a hamstring problem from the win over Charlton Athletic, while McLean is dealing with a different issue in the same ankle. Both remain subject to assessment. Sam Field, who made his first start of this run against Watford, is expected to continue in that area of the pitch.

Anthony Musaba is also expected to retain his place after making his first start of the run against Watford, while José Córdoba is set to continue at left centre-back ahead of Harry Darling. Oscar Schwartau, sidelined by a minor nerve problem, is expected to be fit again. Daniel Grimshaw is in line to continue in goal, having started four of the last five matches to Vladan Kovacevic's one.
