Daniel Farke is set to make wholesale changes to the squad, which was held 2-2 by Cardiff City. In will come Karl Darlow, Lewis Bate, Darko Gyabi, Jamie Shackleton, Joe Gelhardt, Sonny Perkins and Ian Povada.
Liam Cooper, Stuart Dallas, Tyler Adams, Patrick Bamford, Junior Firpo, Mateo Joseph, Sam Greenwood, Cody Drameh and Georginio Rutter are all ruled out through injury. Matthew Pennington and Nohan Kenneh (on loan from Hibs) could play against their former club.
