Derby County show as many as eight changes to their starting line-up for this evening’s Emirates FA Cup Fourth Round clash with Leicester City, kick-off: 7:45pm.

Steve McClaren promised that changes would be made and that has proven to be the case and Richard Keogh, Bradley Johnson and Jacob Butterfield are the only players to keep their place in the starting XI from the team that lost 1-0 at Newcastle United on Saturday.Darren Bent, Craig Bryson and Marcus Olsson are rested entirely, although David Nugent does make his return to the matchday fold after recovering from a knee injury and takes his place on the substitutes bench against his former club.Half of the eight changes come in a new-look back five that will feature at the King Power Stadium. Jonathan Mitchell will make his second start of the season, replacing Scott Carson in goal with the Derby number one dropping to the substitutes bench this evening.In the back four, Cyrus Christie makes his first start since the 3-2 away win at Wolves at the start of November – coming in for Chris Baird – whilst Jason Shackell makes his second FA Cup appearance of the season, replacing Alex Pearce.Max Lowe, the 19-year-old academy graduate, also comes in for his first start since November after overcoming injury.In midfield, and after impressing in the defeat at Newcastle on Saturday Julien de Sart comes into the starting line-up – playing in the holding midfield role behind Bradley Johnson and Jacob Butterfield.Ikechi Anya and Abdoul Camara replace Johnny Russell and Tom Ince on the flanks, whilst Nick Blackman makes his first start since the Rams’ 1-1 draw with Reading at the start of October.McClaren, the Derby boss, will have a strong looking substitutes bench to call upon this evening, with Scott Carson, Johnny Russell, Tom Ince, Chris Baird, Alex Pearce, Matěj Vydra and David Nugent all in reserve at the King Power Stadium.
