Derby County show two changes to the starting XI that drew 0-0 with Brentford earlier this week for their meeting with Huddersfield Town in West Yorkshire today, kick-off: 3pm.

Marcus Olsson, the 28-year-old Swedish full back, returns to the starting line-up for the first time since the Rams’ 1-1 draw with Reading before the international break.

He has missed the last two games entirely with a knock, but returns to replace Chris Baird in the side – with the 34-year-old dropping down to the substitutes bench.

Johnny Russell, Derby’s matchwinner against Leeds United a week ago, makes his first start win Derby’s 2-0 defeat to Newcastle United back in September.

The start means the fans’ favourite will make his 150th Rams appearance since joining from Dundee United in the summer of 2013.

The 26-year-old Scotland wideman comes into the team in place of Ikechi Anya, who starts on the bench for the first time since his summer transfer from Watford.

Craig Bryson misses out entirely after collecting his fifth yellow card of the 2016/17 season in the draw with Brentford on Tuesday.

From back to front, Scott Carson will once again start between the posts for McClaren’s side today.

Cyrus Christie, Richard Keogh, Alex Pearce and Olsson make up the back four at the John Smith’s Stadium.

In front of them, Bradley Johnson resumes his uptake of the holding midfield position with a midfield duo of Jacob Butterfield, facing his former club, and Will Hughes ahead of him.

Tom Ince and Russell will take up their positions on the flank, partnering Matěj Vydra will lead the Derby attack.

Jonathan Mitchell, Anya, Darren Bent, Baird, Andreas Weimann, Jamie Hanson and Farrend Rawson are in reserve at the John Smith’s Stadium this afternoon.
