Town boss Mick McCarthy makes two changes to his side for this evening’s game at Sheffield Wednesday with Jordan Spence and Luke Hyam both returning to the line-up.
Spence takes over from Dominic Iorfa, who drops to the bench, at right wing-back with Hyam forming a central midfield trio with Cole Skuse, who is playing his 200th game for the Blues, and Callum Connolly.
Mustapha Carayol seems set to play behind Martyn Waghorn with Joe Garner, who has been nursing a number of knocks, on the bench.
Wednesday make six changes from the team which lost 4-0 at Bristol City on Saturday with David Jones, former Blue Jordan Rhodes, Jacob Butterfield, Glenn Loovens, Tom Lees, who is making his 150th appearance for the Owls, and George Boyd replacing Daniel Pudil, Frederico Venancio, Joey Pelupessy and Lucas Joao, who are on the bench, and Sean Clare and Jack Stobbs, who are left out of the 18.
In addition to former Town striker Rhodes, who is without a goal in his last three games against his old club, Morgan Fox is a former Blues academy schoolboy.
