Derby have been handed a major boost ahead of their clash with Albion.

Skipper and influential central defender Richard Keogh has been passed fit to return from a knee injury after a five-game absence.

Rams also recall holding midfielder John Eustace as they look to bounce back from last Friday’s 4-1 defeat at Leicester.

Their bench includes highly-rated striker Patrick Bamford, who impressed on loan from Chelsea to MK Dons in the first half of the season.

Derby: Grant; Wisdom, Keogh, Buxton, Forsyth; Eustace, Bryson, Hughes; Ward, Dawkins, Martin. Subs: Legzdins, Keane, Bennett, Bamford, Sammon, Whitbread, Hendrick.
