Interim boss Rhys Carr has made just one change to his starting line-up from the weekend for tonight’s Championship match at Burnley.

In comes Tatsuhiro Sakamoto for Jack Rudoni in one of the attacking midfield slots on a night when it looks like the Sky Blues stand-in coach is sticking with three at the back and wing-backs against the fourth placed Clarets.

Brad Collins continues in goal ahead of Oliver Dovin, who once again provides back-up from the bench, while the back three looks like it will again have Joel Latibeudiere and Luis Binks either side of Bobby Thomas.

That leaves Milan van Ewijk at right wing-back and Jay Dasilva on the left, with Josh Eccles and Ben Sheaf occupying the holding midfield roles. Carr played a box midfield against Sheffield United last time out, with Victor Torp at the top end with Rudoni, but we’re yet to see whether Sakamoto will be given the same role of asked to play slightly higher, with Norman Bassette leading the line as the lone striker.

Ellis Simms and Brandon Thomas-Asante provide striking options amongst the substitutes. who include the attack-minded Ephron Mason-Clark and Rudoni.

City: Brad Collins; Joel Latibeaudiere, Bobby Thomas, Luis Binks; Milan van Ewijk, Josh Eccles, Ben Sheaf, Victor Torp, Jay Dasilva; Tatsuhiro Sakamoto; Norman Bassette.

Subs: Oliver Dovin (GK), Liam Kitching, Jack Rudoni, Ellis Simms, Ephron Mason-Clark, Brandon Thomas-Asante, Jake Bidwell, Jamie Allen, Kai Andrews.
