- Goalkeeper Tomasz Kuszczak is set to miss out with a broken nose, while Paul Caddis is a doubt at right-back.
- Ryan Shotton could move over to right-back with Paul Robinson or Jonathan Spector coming in at centre-back, but winger Jacques Maghoma looks set to miss out.
- Playmaker Jon Toral will miss the rest of the season having picked up a hamstring injury in training, but James Vaughanis back in contention having been ineligible to face parent club Huddersfield last week.
- Left back George Friend looks set to miss out again, with Ritchie De Laet or James Husband set to replace him.
- Aitor Karanka has no fresh injury concerns, but he may consider some changes after only drawing 0-0 with Ipswich last weekend.
