Ben Johnson returns to the Town XI against his old club West Ham United along with Wes Burns as the Blues take on the Hammers at the London Stadium.

Johnson comes in at right-back with Axel Tuanzebe having picked up a knock, while Burns is on the right of the three behind striker Liam Delap with Chiedozie Ogbene on the bench.
