BRI vs DER Dream11 MATCH PREVIEW:

• Both the teams have won once in the first three games in the 2019-20 Championship season.
• But Derby County are unbeaten, having drawn the other two games, while Bristol City have already tasted a defeat which came at home against Leeds United.

Team News:

Derby County:

• Jayden Bogle is the only injury absentee for Derby County at the moment. The 19-year-old right-back suffered an ankle injury during the 0-0 draw against Swansea City 10 days ago.
• No other player is expected to miss the game for Derby due to injury or suspension, which means Phillip  Cocu has a fully-fit squad to choose from.
• We still expect one or two from manager Phillip Cocu to the side which drew 2-2 against Stoke City.
• The reason being that the Rams are playing their 2nd game in just three days.
• However, Cocu normally doesn’t flirt with his playing 11 often and we could yet see him naming a similar XI from the last match.

Bristol City:

• Jay Dasilva has been ruled out for Bristol City and will not feature here. The 21-year-old is recovering from a tibia fracture and is expected to miss at least five months of action.
• But Pedro Pereria is nearing a return after recovering from a knock he suffered a fortnight ago. The 21-year-old is on a season-long loan from Benfica.
• Head coach Lee Johnson is expected to continue with a 5-3-2 formation which gave his team its maiden victory of the season.
