DERBY County will be unchanged as they aim to claim a fifth successive win against Blackpool. Rams head coach Steve McClaren has stuck with the same starting line-up and bench for Saturday's Championship clash at the newly-named iPro Stadium (12.15pm) following the midweek victory over Middlesbrough. That means midfielder Jeff Hendrick will have to continue to wait for his first start since returning from an ankle injury, while new loan signing Michael Keane again has to settle for a place among the substitutes. "It is a nice position to be in," said Rams coach Paul Simpspon. "We are going with the same starting 11 and subs. "We are confident that the players have recovered from Wednesday night and we feel as though this is a side that can start the game and get us a result. "They have rested properly, they have eaten properly to try and get their energy levels up and we just hope the players continue to perform like they have done since we have come into the football club, so we can come away smiling. "We have got a fantastic array of substitutes available to us and that is a sign of the strength that we have got at the football club at the moment. "The rest of the subs will play their part. We are honest enough and we have told the players that today will be about 14 players – not just the 11 that start the game." Blackpool boss Paul Ince makes three enforced changes to his side. Gary MacKenzie, Kirk Broadfoot and Ricardo Fuller are all suspended after being sent off in Tuesday's 1-0 defeat to Yeovil Town, so former Derby striker Steve Davies is handed a rare start, skipper Barry Ferguson returns following injury and Tyler Blackett also gets the nod. DERBY COUNTY: L Grant, Wisdom, Keogh, Buxton, Forsyth, Eustace, Hughes, Bryson, Dawkins, Ward, Martin. Subs: Legzdins (gk), Keane, Cisse, Hendrick, Russell, Sammon, Bennett. BLACKPOOL: Gilks, Bishop, Basham, Robinson, Blackett, Ferguson, Gosling, Osbourne, Dobbie, Ince, Davies. Subs: Warner (gk), Angel, B Grant, Chopra, Delfouneso, Eccleston, Barkhuizen. REFEREE: A Haines (Tyne & Wear).
