Leon Cort still hasn't recovered from the foot injury he suffered at Sheffield Wednesday that prevented him from playing at Wolves last week. Damien Delaney will continue to deputise at centre back alongside Danny Coles.

Midfielder Keith Andrews (hamstring) and forward Steve McPhee (ankle) both went off in the first half at Molineux and will sit out tomorrow.

If Peter Taylor goes on the attack as City seek their first win of the season, Stuart Green could get Andrews' place. Curtis Woodhouse is another option to make his first appearance since signing from Peterborough.

Ben Burgess staked his claim for a starting place up front, but Taylor may persist with Craig Fagan partnering Nick Barmby.

Stuart Elliott and Andy Dawson will be hoping for recalls after Kevin Ellison and Roland Edge were preferred last week. Ryan France may also be back in the side after not being picked for the last two games.

With right-back Mark Lynch still out for at least three weeks and both Robbie Stockdale and Alton Thelwell unfit, Scott Wiseman could retain a place in the City side for the first time in his career.

Expected line-up (4-4-2): Boaz Myhill; Scott Wiseman, Danny Coles, Damien Delaney, Andy Dawson; Ryan France, Stuart Green, Ian Ashbee, Stuart Elliott; Craig Fagan, Nick Barmby.
Subs: Sergio Leite, Marc Joseph, Curtis Woodhouse, Jason Price, Ben Burgess.
