Match Preview

McGuire misses County clash Portsmouth will be without on-loan striker Chris McGuire as they attempt to stave off relegation for at least another week against Derby. McGuire has scored three goals in 10 matches since joining Pompey from Pride Park in March, but he is ineligible to face his parent club. One potential replacement, Luca Scapuzzi, is also ruled out as he has gone back to Manchester City having failed to make an impact during his loan spell. Winger Kelvin Etuhu may come back after missing Tuesday's win over Crystal Palace due to a family bereavement, otherwise Marco Futacs or youngster Ashley Harris - who has yet to make his full debut - could start. Defender Tal Ben Haim is still struggling with a calf injury and is not expected to figure. Derby need to check on forward Jamie Ward, defender Tom Naylor and midfielder Ben Davies. Ward (dead leg) and Naylor (hamstring) suffered injuries during the 2-0 defeat to Cardiff on Tuesday night while Davies missed the game in the Welsh capital with a tight hamstring. Naylor was replaced by John Brayford, who was included in the squad for the first time in two months after recovering from a torn thigh muscle. "We would like to have them all available for Saturday but it is a case of wait and see," said Rams boss Nigel Clough. "Ben has been having treatment and, hopefully, he will be available."
