James Garner looks set to move into his favoured central midfield role at the expense of Amadou Onana.
The 22-year-old has been in good form recently, creating for Dominic Calvert-Lewin at Brentford and opening his Blues account at Aston Villa. Sean Dyche has now moved Garner into the middle after starting him on the right of midfield for the past two Premier League games.
Garner takes his place among a midfield three with Idrissa Gueye and Abdoulaye Doucoure. Onana is on the bench.
Jack Harrison replaces him in the starting XI and is therefore set to make his first league start since his loan spell from Leeds United. Harrison for Onana is the only change to the first XI.
Harrison is likely to start on the right of the midfield with Dwight McNeil on the left and Dominic Calvert-Lewin leading the forward line.
Vitalii Mykolenko and Ashley Young keep their spots at full-back with James Tarkowski and Jarrad Branthwaite – fresh from his new club deal – in the middle ahead of Jordan Pickford.
