Bradley Orr makes his Town debut and Lee Martin returns to the side as Mick McCarthy makes two changes to his team for today’s game at Leicester.

Loanee Orr comes in at right-back with Tommy Smith dropping to the bench and Luke Chambers switching to centre-half.

Arran Lee-Barrett is on the bench in the absence of Scott Loach, who misses out with the thigh injury he sustained at Walsham. Luke Hyam’s reward for an impressive display against the Thurlow Nunn League side is a place amongst the subs, alongside summer signing Elliott Hewitt.

Martin is back after his one-match ban in place of Richie Wellens, who has returned to the Foxes at the end of his loan, but isn’t in Nigel Pearson’s 18.

Leicester are unchanged from their 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest last week. Full match preview here.

Town: Henderson, Orr, Chambers, Higginbotham, Cresswell, Edwards (c), N'Daw, Reo-Coker, Martin, Murphy, Campbell. Subs: Lee-Barrett, Hewitt, Smith, Hyam, Mohsni, Emmanuel-Thomas, Chopra

Leicester: Schmeichel, De Laet, Drinkwater, Morgan (c), Whitbread, King, Dyer, Waghorn, Schlupp, Knockaert, Nugent. Subs: Vardy, Marshall, Logan, James, Moore, Lingard, Futacs.

BrettenhamBlue added 14:16 - Nov 17 Makes sense putting Orr straight into the first team. Leicester are a strong side. Morgan is on form and nugent is always a threat

gibbo added 14:16 - Nov 17 Makes a change not to have a back 4 that picks itself, I was hoping nugent wouldn't start that means were a goal down already

irishtim added 14:18 - Nov 17 Step up to the plate Lee. Strong on paper plus options on the bench. Surprising no Scotland.

Tractamatt added 14:21 - Nov 17 Would,nt wish an injury on ANY player but Nugent might not make it for a full 90mins. The teams looking so much better now but think we will miss Wellens until January. Confident of getting something from this today.COYB

wd546 added 14:30 - Nov 17 Lee Martin has to show he is worth giving a new contract to, he puts the effort in every game and does a lot of running, but does he actually do anything to show he has the quality at this level? Not that I have seen, but I would love him to prove me right and get an assist or goal today!

oohaahstevepalmer added 14:41 - Nov 17 Agree that Orr should start but in place of chambers not smithy, chambers is the weak link in the back line!! And Martin should not play as he's done nothing this season and they played better without him! Coyb

TractorBoy666 added 14:58 - Nov 17 Smith dropped to the bench? Thought he had a great game last week. But I guess he's 'tired' as a lot of players are these days. COYB, 3 points today!!

TimmyH added 15:09 - Nov 17 About time Martin proved himself and about time he scored a goal, glad that Orr is starting. So I take it Cresswell is playing this game in his usual right back position?
