Bobby Thomas drops to the Coventry City bench on Saturday as Frank Lampard makes just one change from the side who eventually prevailed over Sheffield Wednesday on penalties in the FA Cup last weekend. Thomas has started every league game since September but makes way here as Joel Latibeaudiere comes back into the side.

Jay Dasilva keeps his place in the starting XI at left wing-back, ahead of Jake Bidwell who signed a new contract with the Sky Blues on Friday. Ahead of them, Brandon Thomas-Asante joins Ellis Simms in attack with shoot-out winner Norman Bassette among the substitutes alongside Josh Eccles and Tatsuhiro Sakamoto.

City, of course, remain without key trio Haji Wright, Ephron Mason-Clark and Ben Sheaf, while Ben Wilson - who is back in training again after three months out with a knee problem - remains an absentee with Brad Collins' inclusion in the squad continuing.
