Goals early in each half from Jarrod Bowen and Michail Antonio respectively sealed the win at Pride Park, booking them a trip to Manchester United in next month's fifth round.

Alphonse Areola
There was a first start in two-and-a-half months for Areola, who missed the third round trip to Brentford with a minor hip issue. Had little to deal in the first half, despite some first half promise shown by Derby. Held his own at crosses well, forced into one late save to deny Lewis Dobbin. 7
Thilo Kehrer
Thilo Kehrer has struggled for minutes since the World Cup, where he struggled to get a chance with Germany. Kurt Zouma's hip injury led to a start from him on the right side at centre-back. Probably the weakest of the back three in the first half, with Tom Barkhuizen giving him something to think about at times. Better in the second half, but had little to do. 6
Angelo Ogbonna
Angelo Ogbonna captained West Ham with Declan Rice and Angelo Ogbonna both sat on the bench. Made a few big clearances and interventions in the first half to stop Derby's crosses and the glimmers of attack they threatened with. Really good again after the break, less to do but remained solid. Starting to hit form. 7
Nayef Aguerd
The £30million summer signing continued his recent run of form and hardly put a foot wrong on the left side of the centre-back trio. Classy with his touches and clever with his positioning, with every game, he looks even more suited to this West Ham side. Could tell his class was that superior to the opponents he was against. 7
Ben Johnson
It was a poor first half from Johnson, who looked to be West Ham's weak spot, with Derby getting joy down his side before half-time. Improved after the break and almost made it 3-0, offering a threat out wide and launching a shot on goal after Said Benrahma's stunning pass. Looks some way off troubling Vladimir Coufal's spot at present. 6
Flynn Downes
Downes was back in the side and looked really tidy in midfield, especially early on. Sat deeper but controlled the game times with Declan Rice rested, starting the well-worked team goal for Bowen to make it 1-0. An encouraging performance in what was his first proper run out since before the World Cup. Offered plenty going forward and at the back, pressing high to start moves. 7
Tomas Soucek
Considering Soucek's recent poor form, it was his best performance in some time, although the opposition's level must be contextualised. Great movement and technical quality in the build up to Bowen's opener, heading across goal for a tap-in. Some good long passing too, he should take confidence from it. 7
Emerson
Attacked well at times, especially when Benrahma was introduced, linking up well to get forward well with West Ham looking promising off the flank. Seems to have nailed down the left wing-back spot at present, able to attack and offer threat with inverted runs. 7
Pablo Fornals
A mixed showing from Fornals, who improved after half-time as his direct pass started the move off for Antonio to make it two. Struggled at times as Derby tried to close him down, but able to find space at times in between the lines. Benrahma upstaged him though in his 25 minute cameo. 6
Jarrod Bowen (Star man)
Bowen is really on a run of form, adding to his double at Everton with a goal and a hand in the other. His finish was similar to those against the Toffees, latching onto Soucek's header to stab home a volley too strong for Wildsmith too handle. Constantly a threat pressing, Bowen latched onto a unsuccessful Curtis Davies clearance, getting down the right and putting the ball into the box, with Antonio heading in after a deflection. The perfect form needed ahead of a trip to the side he almost joined three years ago, Newcastle. 8
Michail Antonio
Amid links with an imminent exit, Antonio had a really good game and perhaps, one that he needed. Good hold up play, skill and strength exhibited when Antonio broke forward to start moves off. Got a deserved goal early in the second half, heading in at the back post. What he needs ahead of Saturday's trip to Newcastle, if he is still at the club. 7
Substitutes
Said Benrahma
In typical Moyes fashion, Benrahma was introduced with just over 25 minutes of the tie remaining, aiming to make it two goals in as many games in this competition after netting the winner at Brentford just over three weeks ago. He replaced Antonio up front. Added vibrancy and threat going forward, even when already two goals up. Great link-up play with Emerson and he created a golden chance for Bowen, forcing a good save out of Wildsmith. 7
Divin Mubama
The 18-year-old striker, who has scored 15 goals in his last 11 youth appearances, got 12 minutes at the end to strutt his stuff on his third senior appearance. Battled well to win one foul, did not see much of the ball barring that. N/A
Aaron Cresswell
Having recently lost his place in the side to Emerson, West Ham's vice-captain replaced the Italian international for the final 12 minutes of the tie. N/A
Manuel Lanzini
A rare outing for Manuel Lanzini, on with less than five minutes to go in place of Fornals. N/A
