Max Lowe makes his home league debut in Steve McClaren’s first game back in charge of Derby County ahead of the visit of Leeds United today, kick-off: 3pm.

The 19-year-old academy graduate comes into the squad in place of Marcus Olsson, who is ruled out of this afternoon’s contest through a short-term injury.

Nick Blackman and Abdoul Camara are also missing through minor injuries.

That is the only change that the Rams have made from the side that drew 1-1 with Reading before the international break.

Scott Carson extends his record of starting every league game this season so far this season in goal, and will be supported by a back four of Cyrus Christie, Richard Keogh, Alex Pearce and Lowe.

Will Hughes has recovered from a minor knee injury to retain his place in the middle of the park, alongside Jacob Butterfield, who will have Bradley Johnson behind them playing in the holding role.

Tom Ince and Ikechi Anya will take their places out on the flank and will support Matěj Vydra, who will lead the Rams’ attack again this season.

Craig Bryson returns to the matchday fold for the first time since Derby’s defeat to Blackburn Rovers last month, whilst Jonathan Mitchell, Johnny Russell, Darren Bent, Chris Baird, James Wilson and Andreas Weimann will also be in reserve for McClaren.

Chris Powell, Derby’s assistant manager, spoke to Rams Player HD to review Derby’s team news and speak about the prospect of linking up with McClaren in the Rams’ dugout.
