Mark Robins has made three changes to his Coventry City side to face Leeds United at Elland Road.
In comes Joel Latibeaudiere, Josh Eccles and Jay Dasilva on a day when Callum O’Hare, Jamie Allen and Haji Wright drop to the bench.
Brad Collins continues in goal behind a settled back four of Milan van Ewijk, Bobby Thomas, Liam Kitching and Jake Bidwell on a day when Kyle McFadzean and Luis Binks provide central defensive back-up among the substitutes.
Latibeaudiere is expected to be deployed as a holding midfielder wih Ben Sheaf and Eccles in a 4-3-3 formation which will see Tatsuhiro Sakamoto continue on the right of the front three and Jay Dasilva replace Wright on the left, with Ellis Simms again leading the line.
The formation, however, is expected to look more like 4-5-1 out of possession as Robins appears to be taking a cautious approach against the third from top opposition.
Wright, O’Hare, Matty Godden and Kasey Palmer offer attacking options on he bench.
City: Brad Collins; Milan van Ewijk, Bobby Thomas, Liam Kitching, Jake Bidwell; Ben Sheaf, Joel Latibeaudiere, Josh Eccles; Tatsuhiro Sakamoto, Ellis Simms, Jay Dasilva.
Subs: Ben Wilson (GK), Luis Binks, Kyle McFadzean, Callum O’Hare, Jamie Allen, Matty Godden, Haji Wright, Yasin Ayari, Kasey Palmer.
