James McPake who has a back injury and David Bell who has a shin injury are doubts for the Sky Blues.
Aron Gunnarsson should return to the squad after missing the QPR game with a shin injury.
Jon Stead is expected to go straight into the squad after signing on loan until the end of the season.
For Newcastle, Jonas Gutierrez will return to the squad after missing the draw at Swansea with a thigh problem. Shola Ameobi is out with a slight hamstring injury.
With no clause in the deal which took him to St James' Park to stop him from playing in the match, Leon Best is expected to have some part in the game. The striker was a 65th minute substitute on Saturday. Former City loanee Patrick van Aanholt is also expected to play but has been told that he must return to Chelsea once his month's loan is up.
