Derby County have made one change to the starting XI that defeated Cardiff City 2-0 in midweek for this afternoon’s clash with Reading, kick-off: 3pm.

Marcus Olsson, missing for that meeting with the Bluebirds through injury, is recalled to the matchday squad and takes the place of Max Lowe to make his sixth league start of the 2016/17 campaign.

Lowe, the academy graduate who signed a four-year contract on Thursday, sustained a shin injury in the Welsh Capital, which has ruled him out of the trip to the Madejski Stadium all together.

Apart from that, the rest of matchday squad from Tuesday’s win remains the same.

Scott Carson maintains his place in goal, whilst Cyrus Christie, Richard Keogh, Alex Pearce and Olsson complete the back four.

Sticking with a 4-3-3, the impressive trio of Bradley Johnson, Jacob Butterfield and Will Hughes take up their positions in the middle of the park.

Tom Ince, a scorer in the win at Cardiff, also starts. The 24-year-old takes his place on the flank – with Ikechi Anya playing in the other – whilst Matěj Vydra will lead the line.

Craig Bryson, the Scotland midfielder, is not ready for a return against the Royals so the substitutes bench remains the same.

Jonathan Mitchell, who was called up to the England Under 21s squad this week, is the reserve goalkeeper, whilst Johnny Russell, Darren Bent, Chris Baird, James Wilson, Nick Blackman and Andreas Weimann complete the bench for today’s fixture.

Reading: Al Habsi, Gunter, McShane (C), Evans, Beerens, Swift, Obita, McCleary, Moore, Kermorgant, Williams

Substitutes: Jaakkkola, Mendes, Harriott, Wieser, Gravenberch, Watson, Kelly

Derby County: Carson, Christie, Keogh (C), Pearce, Olsson; Johnson, Butterfield, Hughes; Ince, Anya, Vydra

Substitutes: Mitchell, Russell, Bent, Baird, Wilson, Blackman, Weimann
