TEAM NEWS
Michael Doyle is suspended after picking up his fifth booking at Blackburn and with Stephen Hughes having a dead leg, it looks like Kevin Thornton could be given a start.

Tim Flowers said to the CT; We have got Leicester coming up - a big local derby - and if you need lifting for that one you are in the wrong game."
Said Iain Dowie to the CT "The Blackburn match is done and dusted and we are looking forward to a crucial game against a side who have gone for it this year but it has not quite happened for them. "They have had a bit of turmoil but Milan Mandaric has been as good as his word. "They have got a huge squad and it is a game that should whet anyone's appetite because the M69 derby is always a good one for the fans.
