Dominic Iorfa comes back into the team for suspended skipper Luke Chambers as the Blues face Nottingham Forest at Portman Road.

Iorfa looks set to start at right-back with Jordan Spence joining Adam Webster at the centre of the defence.

Otherwise the Blues are unchanged from the team which won 1-0 at Derby on Tuesday. Myles Kenlock is on the bench having overcome a hamstring injury which saw him miss training earlier in the week.

Like Chambers, Flynn Downes is also banned for one game having picked up his fifth booking.

Forest include ex-Blues striker Daryl Murphy from the start and former loanee Stephen Henderson on the bench. They make one change from the team which lost 2-0 at Cardiff last weekend with Liam Bridcutt returning from suspension and replacing Barrie McKay in midfield.

Town: Bialkowski, Iorfa, Spence, Webster, Knudsen, Skuse (c), Connolly, Ward, Huws, Celina, Waghorn. Subs: Gerken, Bishop, Sears, Nydam, Bru, Kenlock, Morris.

Forest: Smith, Lichaj, Mancienne (c), Traore, Bridcutt, Murphy, Osborn, Dowell, Vaughan, Walker, Worrall. Subs: Henderson, Mills, McKay, Clough, Carayol, Bouchalakis, Cummings. Referee: Darren Bond (Lancashire).

htb added 14:42 - Dec 2 He really doesn't like Kenlock. I would rather have seen Knudsen fill the left sided centre back position with Spence at right back
