- Emmerson Boyce will be needed in defence once again after Ivan Ramis was ruled out for the rest of the season with knee ligament damage sustained in the draw with Fulham.
- Ronnie Stam will play on the right side of midfield to fill in for Boyce.
- Jordi Gomez will play up front with Kone at the African Cup of Nations.
- Lee Cattermole made his return to first team action from the bench in the FA Cup in midweek, making his first appearance since sustaining a knee injury in November.
- Steven Fletcher missed the FA Cup tie due to illness but Martin O'Neill is hopeful of having him back in action this weekend.
- After a convincing 3-0 win over West Ham last weekend there is little reason for O'Neill to change his starting XI if all of those players are available.
