Town boss Mick McCarthy has made five changes for this evening’s game at Hull City with Giles Coke, Jonny Parr, Kevin Bru, Larsen Touré and Daryl Murphy all starting.
Cole Skuse (ankle) and David McGoldrick (groin) both miss out due to injury with Freddie Sears, Brett Pitman and Ainsley Maitland-Niles dropping to the bench.
The Blues look set to line-up in a 4-3-3 with Murphy in the centre of the front three with Parr on the left and Touré on the right and Coke, Douglas and Bru the midfield trio.
Skuse and McGoldrick both travelled and the injuries aren't thought to be serious. Ryan Fraser (knee), Tommy Oar (concussion), Luke Hyam (knee) and Teddy Bishop (hamstring and shin splints) are all unavailable.
Former Town loanee Jake Livermore starts for the Tigers, while ex-Blues defender Alex Bruce and one-time trialist Eldin Jakupović are on the bench.
