Team News:
Hugo Colace and Stephen Foster remained sidelined by injury so Reds boss Mark Robins could keep faith with the side who narrowly lost at Portsmouth to avoid a fourth successive away loss for the first time in three years. Garry O’Connor, who netted on his Barnsley debut against Leeds in September, is pushing for a recall if Robins goes for a 4-4-2 formation.
Likely Lineup:
Luke Steele
Matt Hill
Jason Shackell
Paul McShane
Bobby Hassell
Kieran Trippier
Frank Nouble
Nathan Doyle
Diego Arismendi
Jacob Mellis
Jim O’Brien
Danny Haynes
