Town boss Mick McCarthy has made two changes to his side for this evening’s game at Brighton with Ryan Fraser and Kevin Bru in for Ainsley Maitland-Niles, who is injured, and Brett Pitman, who drops to the bench.
Fraser makes his first start since returning to the club having undergone the rehab from his knee injury back with his parent club AFC Bournemouth. The Blues had previously been unchanged for six matches.
Fraser looks set to start on the left with Bru on the right with Freddie Sears joining Daryl Murphy up front.
Former Blues loanee David Stockdale starts in goal for the home side, who hand Connor Goldson his full debut at centre-half with skipper Gordon Greer ruled out with a hamstring injury. Jake Forster-Caskey, the step-son of former Blue Nicky Forster, is on the bench.
If Town win they will equal a club record of five successive away victories, only previously achieved in late 1976.
