Moses Odubajo comes in for the suspended Liam Palmer at right-back while Adam Reach and Massimo Luongo have been recalled to midfield. Jacob Murphy and Sam Hutchinson have dropped to the bench.

Monk added extra spice to the fixture by criticising his Birmingham counterpart Pep Clotet yesterday. The pair worked together at Swansea City, Leeds United and Birmingham City, with Clotet replacing Monk at St Andrew's after his sacking last June.
