    The latest casualty is goalkeeper Bartosz Bialkowski (pictured), who will miss out due to a calf strain, with Dean Gerken replacing him.

    Cole Skuse, Martyn Waghorn and Joe Garner are all likely to return to the starting 11, having been on the bench for last weekend's FA Cup tie against Sheffield United.

    Town manager Mick McCarthy said the Blues needed to get back on track, having gone almost a month without a victory.

    "We need a win and I'm confident we can win, but it's a tough ask on them tomorrow," he said.

    "I've got 18 players available, and that includes Chris Smith and Adam McDonnell who I've had to bring back recently from loan spells."

    McCarthy accepts that the club needs to bring in some new faces, and says that inquiries are ongoing.

    "I've made loads of phone calls and asked loads of questions but at this moment in time I'm no further forward," he said.

    "There'll be nothing done before tomorrow so why panic today? The team that will be playing tomorrow is a good team in my mind."

    The Transport Secretary has said "key trunk roads", including the Orwell Bridge, should not be forced to close due to wind.

    "The copying is, in many instances, verbatim, note-for-note copying of original elements of the Song, and is obvious to the ordinary observer," states the complaint filed on Wednesday in New York federal court.

    They are being represented by Richard Busch, who successfully won a trial for the family of Marvin Gaye in the Blurred Lines legal cation.

    He also represented songwriters Martin Harrington and Thomas Leonard who sued Ed over his track Photograph, which they said was a copy of X Factor winner Matt Cardle's 2011 single Amazing.
