Syd Agina starts his first game for Stoke City as they take on Derby County in the Championship.
The 18-year-old right-back comes into the defence as Mark Robins is expected to return to a back four following Friday’s home win over Sheffield Wednesday.
Tomas Rigo returns to midfield in what is likely to be an attacking role supporting centre-forward Lamine Cisse, who is flanked by Jesurun Rak-Sakyi and Sorba Thomas.
Million Manhoef and Aaron Cresswell drop to the bench. You can follow all the action as it happens live from Pride Park here.
Gavin Bazunu stays in goal while Eric Bocat, Bosun Lawal and Ash Phillips complete the back line. It’s Steven Nzonzi next to Tatsuki Seko in central midfield.
Stoke: Bazunu, Agina, Bocat, Phillips, Lawal, Nzonzi, Seko, Rigo, Thomas, Rak-Sakyi, Cisse. Subs: Simkin, Cresswell, Gibson, Pearson, Baker, Junho, Manhoef, Smit, Gallagher.
