That means James Shea will be in goal behind a back four of Jack Stacey, Matty Pearson, Sonny Bradley and James Justin.
The midfield is made of Alan McCormack, Pelly-Ruddock Mpanzu, Andrew Shinnie and Luke Berry, with a front two of Kazenga LuaLua and James Collins - the 16-goal top scorer who returns to the club with whom he won two promotions from League Two, and to a stadium where he remains the record goalscorer with 48 goals.
New loan signings Jason Cummings and Alex Baptiste take their place on the substitutes' bench, alongside Danny Hylton on his return from a four-match suspension.
