TEAM NEWS
Derby head coach Paul Clement has no fresh injury concerns.
Long-term absentees Max Lowe, Craig Forsyth and Will Hughes remain unavailable.
Midfielder Michael Carrick could return for Manchester United after four games out with a knee injury.
Defender Matteo Darmian is ruled out having been hospitalised with a rib injury last weekend, while Bastian Schweinsteiger and Phil Jones remain sidelined.
MOTD COMMENTATOR’S NOTES
Steve Wilson: “The FA Cup could be a welcome distraction for both sides as the prospect of ‘concentrating on the league’ is not appealing just now.
“Whilst Louis van Gaal is being castigated for a run of two Premier League victories in the last 10 games and trying to keep a lid on a simmering Old Trafford revolt, life has not been much easier for Paul Clement.
“Derby were top of the Championship on Boxing Day, but two points from five games since then has left them fifth.
“There’s one very big difference though: Clement knows he can afford to lose this game – Van Gaal will not be so sure.”

WHAT THE MANAGERS SAY
Derby County head coach Paul Clement on Louis van Gaal: “He’s one of many coaches who has spent his career at all the big clubs. I think he’s well thought of, from a coach relatively new to this. Van Gaal, (Jose) Mourinho, (Carlo) Ancelotti, (Guus) Hiddink, (Pep) Guardiola, he’s part of that group.
“When you look at the big clubs – Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Manchester United – there are very few people who can do those jobs, and he (Van Gaal) is absolutely on that list.”
Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal: “When you lose it is more worse and I predicted already, before the game against Southampton, that I cannot lose any more because I am then condemned for the fourth time that I have been sacked. Maybe then you have written the truth, because sometimes it happens.”
