Craig Bryson and Matěj Vydra have both been named in the Derby County starting line-up for this afternoon’s Sky Bet Championship clash away at Norwich City, kick-off: 3pm.

Steve McClaren said prior to the trip to East Anglia that the Rams would freshen up and they are the two changes the 55-year-old has opted to make his starting XI that drew 0-0 with Wigan Athletic on New Year’s Eve.The swap in midfield is enforced as Bryson comes into the middle of the park in place of Will Hughes, who serves the first of his two-match suspension this afternoon.The other change sees Vydra replace Darren Bent to lead the line at Carrow Road.There are other changes on the substitutes bench too for today’s meeting with Alex Neil’s Norwich.Abdoul Camara misses out on the game altogether due to personal reasons, so in his absence and Bryson’s promotion to the starting line-up, Farrend Rawson and Charles Vernam come into the matchday fold.That means, McClaren, the Derby manager, retains the back six that started against Wigan Athletic on Saturday and also fields four former Canaries players from the start today.Alex Pearce, Chris Baird, Bradley Johnson and Jacob Butterfield all face their former club this afternoon.Scott Carson will maintain his 100 per cent league record of starting in goal for the Rams, and will have a back four of Baird, Richard Keogh, Pearce and Ikechi Anya supporting him.Johnson, who scored the winner against his former club in the reverse fixture, starts in the holding midfield role, whilst Bryson, making his first start since the 2-2 draw at Fulham, and Butterfield are deployed further forward.Tom Ince and Johnny Russell take up their positions on the flanks and will support Vydra, who will spearhead the visitors’ attack.McClaren will have Jonathan Mitchell, Jason Shackell, Darren Bent, Andreas Weimann, Jamie Hanson, Farrend Rawson and Charles Vernam all in reserve should they be needed in East Anglia.Ruddy, Olsson, Martin (C), Naismith, Howson, Oliveira, Hoolahan, Klose, Jacob Murphy, Pinto, TetteyMcGovern, Whittaker, Bassong, Jerome, Pritchard, Bennett, Josh MurphyCarson, Baird, Keogh (C), Pearce, Anya; Johnson, Bryson, Butterfield, Ince, Russell, VydraMitchell, Shackell, Bent, Weimann, Hanson, Rawson, VernamTweets by @ dcfcofficial
