The first change is in goal, where James Shea comes in for his Town league debut in place of Marek Stech, whose wife gave birth to their second child early yesterday morning.

All at Kenilworth Road send their congratulations to Marek, Louise and their daughter Lyla on the safe arrival of son Mason.

One of the outfield changes is at right-back, where James Justin returns to the side, while Olly Lee, Andrew Shinnie and Alan McCormack – making his first start since mid-September at Wycombe – coming into the midfield.

With the game broadcast live on Sky Sports, kick-off this evening is 5.15pm as the Town look for a first win in six matches as they bid to return to the top of the table with Accrington Stanley not in action.
