Team News
Jacob Mellis, Danny Rose, Lewin Nyatanga and Luke Steele are all ruled out. Mellis went off in the first half of last Friday’s 1-1 draw with Ipswich and has damaged ligaments in his ankle which could sideline the former Chelsea youngster for a month.
Jim O’Brien who put in a tremendous performance when he came off the bench is likely to step into the side for his first start since September.
Nyatanga is still not ready to make his second debut for the club whilst keeper Steele who has missed the last six matches has had a setback with his back injury.
Last time out - Barnsley Team:
Jack Butland
Scott Wiseman
Martin Cranie
Jean Yves Mvoto
Tom Kennedy
