TOP scorer Jamie Ward returns to the Derby County starting line-up for Saturday's Championship clash with Ipswich Town at Pride Park Stadium (3pm).
Ward missed the 2-1 win at Leeds United on Easter Monday due to a tight hamstring but has been recalled by Nigel Clough, at the expense of Ben Davies.
Midfielder Craig Bryson (groin) is fit to start after hobbling on during the first half at Elland Road, so the Rams are otherwise unchanged as they look for a fourth successive victory.
Gareth Roberts is back in the squad after a calf injury but has to settle for a place on the bench, as Craig Forsyth continues at left-back.
Goalkeeper Adam Legzdins, meanwhile has shaken off a hip problem, so replaces Saul Deeney as Derby's replacement stopper.
Ipswich boss Mick McCarthy has made five changes following Monday's goalless draw at Millwall on Monday - reverting back to the same starting line-up that beat Leeds 3-0 last Saturday.
DERBY COUNTY: Fielding, Freeman, Keogh, Buxton, Forsyth, Coutts, Hendrick, Bryson, Ward, Martin, Sammon. Subs: Legzdins (gk), Roberts, Gjokaj, Davies, Doyle, Jacobs, Bennett.
IPSWICH TOWN: Loach, Stearman, Chambers, Smith, Cresswell, Edwards, Hyam, Drury, Tabb, McGoldrick, Murphy. Subs: Lee-Barrett (gk), Hewitt, Kisnorbo, N'Daw, Emmanuel-Thomas, Nouble, Chopra
REFEREE: E Ilderton (Tyne & Wear).
