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...
9. Attacking midfield - Marcus Harness
Couldn't stamp his authority on things at Brighton but should see plenty more of the ball if he features in the hole at Spotland Photo: Joe Pepler
10. Left wing - Ronan Curtis
Had a good game at Brighton, especially in the first half. Netted a double at Rochdale last season. Photo: Joe Pepler
11. Striker - John Marquis
Will want much better service than he received against Shrewsbury and Brighton Photo: Joe Pepler
