FA CUP TEAM NEWS: Leyton Orient Vs Derby County

Derby County’s starting line-up for their rearranged Emirates FA Cup Third Round tie against Leyton Orient at the Gaughan Group Stadium has been confirmed (7:45pm kick-off).

The Rams were set to play against the O’s on Saturday night, but the game was postponed and rearranged due to a frozen pitch in London.

Paul Warne has made three changes from the side that began the Rams’ last Sky Bet Championship game against Bristol City on Saturday 4th January.

Striker Dajaune Brown will lead the line for the Rams in London, making his 14th appearance of the season, while winger Corey Blackett-Taylor will feature for the tenth time this term.

Left-back Craig Forsyth returns to the starting picture and will make his 23rd outing in all competitions for the Rams in the 2024/25 campaign.

Midfielder Ebou Adams has come back into the matchday squad and will start on the bench following a fortnight's absence after he picked up a concussion against Sheffield Wednesday on New Year's Day.

Academy attacker Johnson Osong also takes his place on the bench after training with the first-team squad over the past week leading up to the clash.
