Duo in line for Rams debuts

New signing Alan Stubbs and Roy Carroll are expected to make their Derby debuts in the Barclays Premier League clash with Birmingham at St Andrews.

Stubbs is set to provide cover for Jamaican defender Claude Davis, who is struggling with a knee problem, while Carroll will be competing with Lewis Price for the goalkeeping jersey following the completion of his move to Pride Park from Rangers.

Australian winger Mile Sterjovski could be involved if Derby get his international clearance papers through in time.

Team (from): Carroll, Leacock, Moore, Stubbs, Edworthy, Teale, Ghaly, Savage, Fagan, Miller, Earnshaw, Villa, Robert, Price, Todd, Barnes, Sterjovski.
