DER Vs MUN Dream11 Team Probable Playing 11 And Match Report: Agonising Derby Country make for timid opponents in today’s FA Cup encounter.
When Derby County go at loggerheads against Manchester United today in the FA Cup, for the side, this is going to be an extremely staunch test. Ever since losing Frank Lampard to Chelsea, things have never been same for the side with the team waning and unravelling form to go on a wayward spiral in the league in the English Championship.
From challenging for a spot in the Premier League last season, the side are now languishing in 13th position in the league. The void left by Lampard has been way too colossal a one for the side to compensate for with the team winning just one of its last five encounters in the league.
However, what will ingrained some kind of momentum in their ranks is that the win came by in their more resent outing in the league, a comprehensive 3-1 trouncing of Sheffield Wednesday. They’ll be looking to garner confidence from that showing and come hot out of the blocks against Manchester United, a team which has itself enduring a tottering time in the Premier League.
DER Vs MUN Probable Winner
Manchester United’s diabolic form this season was once again brought to the fore by Everton in the Premier League. Fortuitous to walk away from the tie with a point after yet another debacle by VAR ended up in their favour, the side epitomised why they have made for such meek opponents this term with that laggard display.
However, Derby Country will hardly unperturbed them with the side having shipped 49 goals this season, a side Manchester United should be able to brush apart without any jitters.

DER Vs MUN Dream11 Goal-Keeper
Although he and his side are set to cnncede today, we’ll still be opting for Ben Hamer from Derby Country for the affair. The player has shown tenacity in the face of adversary this season to try and bolster his side’s defence with his articulate brand of goal-keeping.
DER Vs MUN Dream11 Defenders
Although this looks set to be a clash where either side will concede atleast once, Manchester United are clearly better equipped at registering a cleansheet on the day. With Derby Country having seen their defensive acumen vanish up in smoke with a colossal 49 goals let in all season, reposing faith in the side’s backline is not something we had the heart for either.
The discourse sees us ring in a trio from Manchester United for the outing with us venturing in with Diego Dalot, Eric Bailly and Diego Dalot for the upcoming affair.
DER Vs MUN Dream11 Midfielders
After scoring the one goal for his side in the Europa League right after his return from injury, we’ll be beginning this component of our side with pick of Scott McTominay from Manchester United. Juan Mata is also brought in for the affair with the player being on corners and freekicks for his side, a role which along with his persistent crossing and passing makes his involvement likely in the side’s attacking sorties.
Elsewhere with four goals, the imperious Jason Knight endeared to us from Derby County along with Grame Shinnie for the outing.
