Striker Brett Pitman scored the winner on Tuesday but has to be content with a place on the bench, with Daryl Murphy leading what is likely to be a front three also including Freddie Sears and Ryan Fraser.

There’s one change for the visitors, with Alan Browne in for Calum Woods following their victory over Bristol City.
