Lee Buchanan returns to the XI and ought to play at centre-back. Oliver Burke makes his first begin in a month. Cody Drameh (ineligible) and Romelle Donovan out.
The formation could possibly be something. It could possibly be a 4-2-2-2 or a 4-3-3 and even a three on the again.
Blues: Ruddy, Aiwu, Sanderson, Buchanan, Longelo, James, Sunjic, Bacuna, Dembele, Stansfield, Burke
Subs: Etheridge, Long, Oakley, Gardner, Donovan, Anderson, T Roberts, Miyoshi, Jutkiewicz
