Town boss Mick McCarthy makes one change to his side for today’s game at Rotherham with Ainsley Maitland-Niles, who suffered a foot injury in Tuesday’s 2-0 win against Bolton, dropping to the bench and Jonathan Douglas starting, while David McGoldrick misses out on a place on the bench having been a pre-match doubt with a groin problem.

The Blues again look set to start in a 4-3-3 formation with Freddie Sears, Daryl Murphy and Brett Pitman up front.

Former Town loanees Danny Collins, Paul Green and Frazer Richardson all start for the bottom-of-the-table Millers. Midfielder Brandon Barker, 19, who joined on loan from Manchester City is handed his senior debut. Full match preview here.

Rotherham: Camp, Richardson, Rawson, Collins, Toffolo, Thorpe, G Ward, Green, Barker, Derbyshire, D Ward. Subs: Collin, Broadfoot, Buxton, Smallwood, Newell, Clarke-Harris, Andreu.

Town: Gerken, Chambers (c), Smith, Berra, Knudsen, Skuse, Douglas, Bru, Sears, Pitman, Murphy. Subs: Bialkowski, Malarczyk, Parr, Coke, Maitland-Niles, Oar, Touré. Referee: Darren Drysdale (Lincolnshire).
