- 14' It’s high time Wayne Rooney made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 19' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 24' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jack Hunt made 392 appearances and scored 10 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 29' It looks surprising Derby County FC does not make any changes. Kasey Palmer has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 34' The Bristol City FC bench stirs into life. Tommy Rowe is withdrawn and Adrian Mariappa gets his opportunity.
- 36' The whistle greets Krystian Bielik as he departs to be replaced by Martyn Waghorn.
- 41' Krystian Bielik has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 6 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
