Derby vs Oxford Utd Lineups, Match Preview, and Team Information

Derby

Financial troubles are always on the minds of the club's fans, but for now, the team is moving forward trying to maintain its status in League One and at the same time developing its academy to get the team some new found excitement.

Predicted lineup: Wildsmith, Nelson, Bradley, Cashin, Ward, Smith, Bird, Hourihane, Forsyth, Collins, Mendez-Laing.

Oxford Utd

Predicted lineup: Beadle, Brown, Negru, Moore, Long, McEachran, Brannagan, Bodin, Rodrigues, Browne, Harris.

Player to Watch: Max Bird

Even though Derby has a relatively older squad this season, their most prized assets are younger players like Max Bird who is a defensive midfielder and highly valued across England at the current stage of his career. The significance of his rise through the ranks at the club is high because he was developed in the club's academy. He started playing for the U18 squad which eventually led him to the U23 team. He made his debut for the senior side three years ago as a 19-year-old.

He doesn't score many goals from his place in the midfield with his assignments mostly involved in protecting the goal. Over 163 appearances for the senior squad, Bird scored four goals and added eleven assists to his record.

Starting lineups

Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.
