Town boss Mick McCarthy has made two changes from the team which beat Barnsley 4-2 in last week’s opening match for this afternoon’s second Championship game of the season against Brentford at Griffin Park.
Hat-trick hero Grant Ward is handed his first league start for the Blues, as is loanee Conor Grant, the duo having come on as half-time subs last week.
The pair start in the wide roles with Freddie Sears moving up front alongside Daryl Murphy.
The injured David McGoldrick drops out of the squad, while Teddy Bishop moves to the bench. New re-signing Luke Varney isn't included in the 18.
Town: Bialkowski, Chambers (c), Webster, Berra, Knudsen, Skuse, Bru, Ward, Grant, Sears, Murphy. Subs: Gerken, T Smith, Emmanuel, Kenlock, Douglas, Dozzell, Bishop.
Brentford: Bentley, Colin, Elder, Dean, Egan, Yennaris, Woods, Clarke, Macleod, Hogan, Sawyers. Subs: Bonham, Bjelland, Saunders, Kershbaumer, Hofmann, McEachran, Ledesma. Referee: Stephen Martin (Staffordshire).
