Derby County Head Coach Paul Warne has made four changes from the side that lost 1-0 to Northampton Town last weekend for today's Sky Bet League One match against Blackpool at Pride Park Stadium (3pm kick-off).
Korey Smith, Corey Blackett-Taylor and Joe Ward all come into the eleven from the off whilst Nathaniel Mendez-Laing is passed fit to start after a minor hamstring issue.
Striker Conor Washington makes his first start for the Rams in the league since October after returning from injury recently.
There's also a massive welcome return to the matchday squad for top scorer James Collins who is among the substitutes for the first time since mid-February.
Under-18s defender Keilen Robinson is involved in the first-team squad for the first time as a substitute.
Winger Mendez-Laing, meanwhile, has the armband for today's game.
