Christie set for Rams comeback
Cyrus Christie could come back into the reckoning for Derby against Midlands rivals Birmingham.
Christie has been struggling recently with a chest infection but the right-back has resumed training this week.
Leading scorer Chris Martin, who has missed six matches with a hamstring problem, and midfielder George Thorne (thigh) could be fit for the trip to Norwich next weekend but Darren Bent (hamstring) and John Eustace remain about three weeks away from a return.
In the absence of Martin and Bent, Johnny Russell is set to lead the attack on Saturday - as he did at Brighton on Tuesday night.
Birmingham are likely to have an unchanged squad for the trip to the iPro Stadium after back-to-back wins.
Gary Rowett's side have beaten their points tally from last season but the boss has warned his side not to relax.
Koby Arthur (thigh) is out for a further few weeks despite hopes he would return sooner.
Michael Morrison, Gavin Gunning and Matt Green are all back in training after knee injuries but are likely to be a few weeks away from returning.
