Town boss Kieran McKenna has made two changes for this afternoon’s game at Brighton and Hove Albion with Wes Burns and Dara O’Shea coming into the XI.
O’Shea comes in for his Town full league debut on the right of the central defensive duo alongside Jacob Greaves with Luke Woolfenden left out of the 20-man squad.
Burns returns from his hamstring injury and comes in on the right of the three behind striker Liam Delap with Chiedozie Ogbene on the bench.
Omari Hutchinson looks set to be in the centre of the three with Sammie Szmodics on the left.
