Vaclav Hladky returns in goal for Christian Walton as Kieran McKenna names an otherwise unchanged team as he takes control of the Blues for the first time against Wycombe Wanderers at Portman Road.
Walton is absent from the 18 and understood to have had Covid with Tomas Holy on the bench with Hladky making his first league appearance since the Cambridge match at the start of October.
Town are again set to line-up in a 3-5-2 system with Janoi Donacien, George Edmundson and Luke Woolfenden the centre-halves.
Wes Burns and Matt Penney continue as the wing-backs with skipper Sam Morsy and Lee Evans in central midfield with Sone Aluko likely to be ahead of them with Macauley Bonne and James Norwood the strike pairing.
For Wycombe, manager Gareth Ainsworth is absent having tested positive for Covid with assistant manager Richard Dobson and player/coach, Matt Bloomfield, who started his career with the Blues, taking charge from the dugout.
The Chairboys’ line-up includes ex-Blues loanee David Stockdale, while former Town youngster Adam Przybek is on the bench.
