Town manager Joe Royle has named an unchanged side for Tuesday's home game with relegation-doomed Rotherham United. Royle is also sticking with the same five substitutes from Saturday's 3-2 victory over Derby County.

The Blues continue to be largely injury free with only Jimmy Juan and Drissa Diallo on the sidelines. The French loanee from Monaco has had a foot problem since joining Town, while Diallo, out of contract in the summer, is still recovering from his hamstring injury.

The Guinean international is set to see a specialist on Tuesday and if all goes well could be back in training by the end of the week.

Although the Millers will be assured League One football next season if Town beat them and either Cardiff or Gillingham get a point from their matches, Royle says he is taking nothing for granted: “Rotherham cannot be treated lightly. People were saying our home games against Watford and QPR in February meant a guaranteed six points and we got none, so this is another tricky one.”

The Town boss says he is concentrating on his own game and is not weighing-up the various scenarios thrown up by possible results in the crunch clash between Wigan and Sunderland at the JJB Stadium: “I've heard some people say it's best we let Sunderland go and look to finish second, while others are saying a draw would suit us best and we could catch them both.

“But I'm not getting into that. All that matters to me is that we keep winning and if we do it six times we won't have to worry about anyone else in any case.”

Rotherham caretaker boss Alan Knill has a slight concern about the fitness of Irishman Michael Keane. The midfielder injured a shoulder in Saturday's shock win against Stoke but came through training on Monday and declared himself fit for the trip to Portman Road.

Former Chelsea full-back Scott Minto could be in contention after recovering from an achilles tendon problem, while ex-Oxford, Leicester and West Brom central defender Phil Gilchrist had shoulder surgery last week and misses the rest of the season.

Midfielder Andy Monkhouse will also be unavailable for the remainder of 2004/05 after a knee operation.

Former Blue Chris Swailes, now 34, is still amongst the Millers' more staunch defenders.

Tuesday's referee is Lee Probert from Gloucestershire who has shown 79 yellow and six red cards in 27 games this season. His previous appearance at Portman Road earlier in the season saw the Blues thrash Sheffield United 5-1.

Town: Davis, Wilnis, Unsworth, De Vos, Naylor, Magilton, Miller, Westlake, Currie, Bent, Kuqi. Subs: Price, Scowcroft, Richards, Horlock, Couñago.
