Freddy Adu · 12-22-2007, 04:36 AM

Steven Taylor returns to the Newcastle United squad after recovering from a hamstring injury.

Freddy Adu · 12-22-2007, 04:36 AM

But the England Under-21 captain is not a certain starter as Claudio Cacapa and David Rozehnal have impressed for the Magpies in Taylor's absence.

Freddy Adu · 12-22-2007, 04:36 AM

Derby's Matt Oakley is a doubt as he is struggling with a thigh strain.

Freddy Adu · 12-22-2007, 04:36 AM

A groin injury looks set to rule midfielder David Jones out of the clash, and long-term absentee Andy Todd (back) will again be missing.

Freddy Adu · 12-22-2007, 04:36 AM

Newcastle team (from): Provisional squad: Given, Beye, N'Zogbia, Rozehnal, Cacapa, Geremi, Butt, Barton, Miller, Smith Martins, Harper, Emre, Viduka, Edgar, Enrique.

Freddy Adu · 12-22-2007, 04:36 AM

Derby team (from): Bywater, Mears, Davis, Moore, McEveley, Griffin, Edworthy, Leacock, Barnes, Oakley, Pearson, Lewis, Fagan, Howard, Miller, Teale, Earnshaw, Feilhaber, Jones, Price.

Freddy Adu · 12-22-2007, 04:36 AM

Newcastle manager Sam Allardyce:

"We had a complete new defence for the start of the season.

"My hope was that we kept all those players fit all the time to gel them together.

"Unfortunately, the biggest injuries we have had are in those areas and that is, for me, why we have conceded so many goals that we could have avoided."

Freddy Adu · 12-22-2007, 04:36 AM

Derby defender Jay McEveley

"It will be a good game - especially with the way Newcastle are playing at the moment.

"If you go there it's going to be a battle. The braver players will come out on top - and we hope we will be coming out on top.

"It is time for us to step up to the plate and show what we're made of."

BIG-MATCH FACTS

Freddy Adu · 12-22-2007, 04:36 AM

Derby County travel to Newcastle in pursuit a Premier League double. It will be their only such opportunity of the season, if they fail to beat Blackburn at home on the last Sunday of the year.

Freddy Adu · 12-22-2007, 04:36 AM

Improving Newcastle are looking to complete three Premier League victories on the spin for the first time in over a year.

Freddy Adu · 12-22-2007, 04:36 AM

The Rams are already assured of being bottom at Christmas, which on all but one previous occasion has meant relegation from the Premier League at the end of the season.

Freddy Adu · 12-22-2007, 04:37 AM

County travel in search of a first point under new manager Paul Jewell, and an end of their abysmal seven-match losing run.

Freddy Adu · 12-22-2007, 04:37 AM

Newcastle have scored four times as many league goals as Derby (24 to six).
