Bothroyd
Keeper David Marshall and full backs Darcy Blake and Kevin McNaughton were all sidelined in midweek for club and country in Blake and Marshall's case.

The game against Burton saw scorer Jay Bothroyd and Adam Matthews both subbed through injury and new signing Martin John came off the field extremely sore after playing on while injured as City kept 11 men on the pitch ater making all three subs.

City will have new signing Seyi Olofinjana available and Jason Koumas came through 50 mins against Burton showing his class with two assists.

Mark Hudson was rested in midweek so he could return.

For once it's quite difficult to pick a starting XI for tomorrow. Injuries and choice mean Jones could name any number of combinations.
