Skipper Carlos Edwards looks set to start on the right-side of a four-man midfield as the Blues take on Millwall at the Den.

The Town captain impressed in the much-changed FA Cup team at Preston on Tuesday and returns to manager Mick McCarthy’s Championship line-up for the first time since the 3-1 home victory over Blackburn on December 3rd, when he scored,

Having recovered from his thigh injury, Daryl Murphy takes his usual role up front with David McGoldrick in a 4-4-2 system with Ryan Tunnicliffe moving back to the left of midfield from the centre.

Town will be wearing last season's white and black away kit rather than this year's red and black strip.

Millwall include ex-Blues Liam Trotter and Lee Martin from the start, while former loan keeper Stephen Bywater is on the bench.

Town: Gerken, Chambers, Smith, Berra, Cresswell, Edwards (c), Hyam, Skuse, Tunnicliffe, Murphy, McGoldrick. Subs: Loach, Mings, Tabb, Hunt, Anderson, Nouble, Taylor.

Millwall: Forde, Fredericks, Shittu, Lowry, Malone, Trotter, Bailey, Martin, Keogh, Morison, McDonald. Subs: Bywater, Beevers, Wright, Abdou, Woolford, Feeney, Marquis.

Jimmy86 added 14:42 - Jan 18 why not the red kit?? as this doesn't clash with milwall's home strip in any way. good news about Carlos, he still has a lot to offer and is fit as a flea. COYB
