DERBY County face Ilkeston FC at the New Manor Ground today in their second friendly of pre-season.The Rams used 22 players in their 1-0 win against Matlock Town on Thursday night.
Each player had 45 minutes on the pitch and it is likely to be the same this afternoon.
Ilkeston manager Kevin Wilson, a former Rams favourite, believes it will be a great occasion both on and off the pitch.
"We're expecting upwards of 1,500 fans to come along so it should be a great atmosphere," he said.
"We'll welcome Steve (McClaren) and his staff, many of whom I know well having played with and against them during my career.
"It will obviously be a good test for our players, not only because it's their first game back but also given the quality of the opposition."
The match kicks off at 3pm.
