Junior and Mathias Svensson are the new look Derby County. Both players are expected to line up for tomorrows clash with Reading at Pride Park.

Derby County will field their new look strike partnership tomorrow following todays last minute capture of Junior and Mathias Svensson.      Junior has moved to Pride Park in a one year deal after leaving Walsall in the summer and becoming a free agent. His strike record of 15 goals in 36 matches for Walsall is what Rams boss George Burley hopes the Brazilian can do for the Rams.      Burley's second capture of the day is Charlton striker Mathias Svensson. The tough swede should make a perfect strike parter for Junior although Svensson has only joined the Rams on an initial one months loan.
