Town boss Mick McCarthy has made two enforced changes for this afternoon’s game at Blackburn Rovers with Jonny Parr and Larsen Touré coming into the side for the ill Jonas Knudsen and the injured Ryan Fraser.
Parr will be making his first league start of the season at left-back with Touré’s inclusion likely to see Ainsley Maitland-Niles switch to the left of midfield. Daryl Murphy and Freddie Sears continue up front.
Fraser picked up a knock in training on Thursday but his problem isn’t thought to be too serious, while Knudsen was set to start before feeling unwell at the hotel. Town will wear their Barcelona-style away kit for the first time.
For Rovers, Blues nemesis Jordan Rhodes - the striker has scored four goals in five games against his old club - starts but midfielder Danny Guthrie misses out and is replaced by Hope Akpan.

Town: Gerken, Chambers (c), Parr, Berra, Smith, Skuse, Douglas, Touré, Maitland-Niles, Murphy, Sears. Subs: Bialkowski, Malarczyk, Emmanuel, Bru, Oar, Pitman, McGoldrick.
