Town boss Mick McCarthy has handed Tyrone Barnett his Blues debut and has recalled Luke Chambers and Luke Hyam to the side taking on Nottingham Forest at Portman Road this evening. Michael Chopra, Danny Higginbotham and the injured Nigel Reo-Coker drop out.

Hyam will be alongside Guirane N'Daw in the centre of midfield with Barnett up front with DJ Campbell.
The Forest starting line-up includes ex-Blues Danny Collins, who is wearing the armband, and Dan Harding, as well as one-time Town target Billy Sharp. Full preview here.
