From the team that faced Manchester City, Dean Henderson retains his place in goal, wth Jack O’Connell and Chris Basham in front of him.

The only central defender missing from the usual three is John Egan who is replaced by veteran Phil Jagielka.

Oliver Norwood and Mo Besic are also still in the side but Luke Freeman comes in for John Fleck.

Both wing backs have been left out – Ben Osborn comes in on the left, while Kieron Freeman replces George Baldock on the right.

Up front, it’s another start for Billy Sharp but he’s alongside Callum Robinson, with Oli McBurnie dropping to the bench.

Also among the substitutes are Michael Verrips, Egan, Ravel Morrison, Leon Clarke and John Lundstram and new signing Jack Robinson.
