Town boss Mick McCarthy has made three changes to his team for this afternoon’s game at Newcastle with Jonathan Douglas, Conor Grant and Grant Ward coming into the side for Cole Skuse, who is injured, Kevin Bru and Teddy Bishop, who drop to the bench.
Skuse misses out with the toe injury which forced him off in the 2-0 win against Burton in the week, a problem he initially suffered at QPR last season.
Douglas and Grant look set for the two deeper central roles with Tom Lawrence - or perhaps Freddie Sears - between them and main striker Leon Best with Ward on the right and Lawrence or Sears on the left.
David McGoldrick, back after the ankle injury he suffered in August, and Jonny Williams are both included among the substitutes.
Newcastle make three changes from the team which won 2-0 at Barnsley on Tuesday with DeAndre Yedlin, Ayoze Perez and former Town loanee Jack Colback coming into the side for Vurnon Anita, Mohamed Diame and Isaac Hayden.
Town: Bialkowski, Chambers (c), Webster, Berra, Knudsen, Douglas, Grant, Ward, Lawrence, Sears, Best. Subs: Gerken, Bishop, McGoldrick, Digby, Bru, Williams, Emmanuel.
Newcastle: Darlow, Clark, Dummett, Colback, Lascelles (c), Gayle, Ritchie, Shelvey, Perez, Gouffran, Yedlin. Subs: Anita, Hayden, Diame, Mbemba, Sels, Atsu, Mitrovic. Referee: James Adcock (Nottinghamshire).
