CHANCE FOR CHORLEY
National League North side Chorley play in the FA Cup third round for the first time in their history today as they host Derby County.

None of Wayne Rooney’s first team squad are travelling to the game, with all of them self isolating after numerous positive cases.
Derby’s development coaches Pat Lyons and Gary Bowyer will play a squad of youth and under-23 players this afternoon.
