Kenny Jackett’s side will be looking to bounce to winning ways after the curtain-raiser draw at Shrewsbury last weekend, before a 4-0 Carabao Cup loss at Brighton on Thursday.
Here’s the starting line-up and substitutes the Blues boss could go with at Spotland...

3. Centre-back - Jack Whatmough
Limped off at Brighton with a dead leg, but Kenny Jackett allayed fears and should be okay to feature.

4. Centre-back - Sean Raggett
Was given the runaround by a potent Brighton attack, but will feel more comfortable up against Rochdale
