Rams look to overhaul Preston

Derby manager George Burley went for broke from the outset in his attempt to overturn Preston’s 2-0 advantage from the first leg of the Coca-Cola Championship semi-final play-off by handing shock starting roles to Grzegorz Rasiak and Inigo Idiakez.

Rasiak, the Rams’ 17-goal leading scorer, missed his side’s last three games after undergoing a hernia operation just a fortnight ago, but the real shock was the return of playmaker Idiakez.
