New keeper Marlon Beresford goes straight into the starting line-up for the clash with Blackpool replacing on-loan Newcastle keeper Tony Caig.
Defender Craig Ireland (thigh) is a slight doubt, but should play in an unchanged line-up from the Brighton defeat.
Mark Stallard makes his home debut up front.
Blackpool are likely to have former Reds Mike Sheron, Martin Bullock and Mike Flynn in their starting line-up.
