Burnley v Derby County: Team news, predicted teams and TV details for Carabao Cup tie

The likes of Max Weiss, Joe Worrall, Lucas Pires, Marcus Edwards and Zian Flemming will all be pushing to make their first starts of the campaign.

They take on a Derby side that are yet to win in the league this season, having drawn one and lost two of their opening three games. But they did secure passage into the second round of the Carabao Cup with a penalty shootout win over West Brom.
