Team news: Michael Hoganson handed full Derby County debut against Wolverhampton Wanderers
MICHAEL Hoganson will make his full debut for Derby County against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Pride Park Stadium today (3pm).

Michael Hoganson away
Hoganson, who joined the Rams last summer after being released by Newcastle United, has only made one brief appearance for the Derby first-team before, coming on as a late substitute in the home win against Middlesbrough on New Year's Day.
Nigel Clough's side is otherwise unchanged, with John Brayford continuing in central defence with Jake Buxton, Mark O'Brien and James O'Connor (all knee) still sidelined.
