Wes Burns and Nathan Broadhead could be among the Town players to win international caps today.

Former Blues striker Kieffer Moore, now with Bournemouth, is also in the squad, as are one-time Town schoolboy Morgan Fox, currently with Stoke City, and Portsmouth's Ipswich-born midfielder Joe Morrell.
