Conor Sammon has been handed his second start for the Blues in tonight’s live Sky game away against his old club Wigan, while Luke Hyam also returns to the side.
Manager Mick McCarthy looks to be fielding a 4-3-3 formation with David McGoldrick set to play behind Sammon and Daryl Murphy.
Jay Tabb, who is unwell, is out of the 18 and Paul Anderson drops to the bench, while recent re-signing Darren Ambrose is on the bench for the first time.
