# Predicted XI – Derby County

Aston Villa will take on Derby County tomorrow night in the late kick off at the iPro Stadium.

Roberto Di Matteo has had a slow but steady start at the Villans so far with one win, one draw and one loss from the opening three games of the season.

He will come up against Nigel Pearson who got his first win as Derby boss in the week against Preston North End.

The game will see old foes in Darren Bent and Andreas Weimann lineup for the Rams as both sides search for some form at this early stage in the season.

Pierluigi Gollini will look to put to bed his demons after an error against Huddersfield Town that cost the Birmingham side three points whilst it is unclear if Mile Jedinak will receive his international clearance in time to play a part on Saturday.

Here is our predicted XI.
