City legend Mo Konjic is to make a comeback from a knee injury which has kept him out since September for Derby Reserves as they travel to Nuneaton Borough to face City Reserves.
Derby boss George Burley said: Mo will play, but not for 90 minutes.
Alan Cork will be without Graham Barrett from the team that won 1-0 at Ipswich last Monday as the Irishman is on international duty. Also out from that team is Andy Whing and Claus Jorgensen. In will come three Academy players in defender Stuart Wall, left winger Liam Davis and striker Ben Mackey whose arm was only gashed rather than broken in the last home game.
Derby also field a mixed team with Lee Grant, Paul Boertin, Junior and Paul Peschisolido starting along side Konjic.
