Veteran midfielder Mark Kennedy is a surprise recall to the Blues side for tonight's game at Burnley. The 35-year-old Irishman comes into a much-changed midfield with Jimmy Bullard and Lee Bowyer as expected returning to the XI.

Arran Lee-Barrett makes his first league start of the season in goal, with Richard Wright sidelined by a minor shoulder problem, the same injury which keeps David Stockdale out of the side. US U20 international Cody Cropper, who is yet to make a senior appearance, is on the bench.

Ibrahima Sonko is included amongst the subs after his absence due to a hamstring problem.

Daryl Murphy's inclusion allows manager Paul Jewell to line his side up either in a 4-4-2 formation as against Reading on Saturday or in the 4-5-1 he utilised earlier in the campaign.

Town: Lee-Barrett, Edwards, Ingimarsson, Collins, Cresswell, Bullard, Andrews, Kennedy, Bowyer, Chopra, Murphy. Subs: Cropper, Sonko, Carson, Emmanuel-Thomas, Scotland.

Burnley: Grant, Trippier, Duff, Edgar, Mee, Bartley, McCann, Treacy, Stanislas, Rodriguez, Vokes. Subs: Stewart, Easton, MacDonald, Hines, Marney.

cartman1972 added 23:08 - Nov 29 24 shots to our 2 ...says it all really... Andrews & Collins won't be here in January and we need to start buying some lower league hungry youngsters who want to play week in week out and commit to our club . Should spend some money on Sharp , Rhodes , Ched Evans ...clear out anyone over 30 except Sonko and Bullard ( who i still believe would be a talisman for a young side ) ....and start appointing decent managers !!!!!

warksonwater added 23:34 - Nov 29 We lost six in a row. That was the worst run since, er, last year. How depressing to think before half way through the seaon that I'll now be delighted with finishing in the top half.
