Sheffield United striker James Beattie's chances of a first start since returning to the club are on hold as he misses the FA Cup clash with Birmingham through suspension.
Beattie, in his second spell with the Blades, was sent off for violent conduct in last week's defeat at Charlton and will sit out the first of a three-match ban. He has made seven appearances off the bench for Danny Wilson's side.
Beattie's place among the substitutes could go to winger Ryan Flynn, who has missed the last three games due to illness, while Wilson has no other new injury or suspension problems.
Wilson is unlikely to make too many, if any, changes to his line-up after the Blades lost only their second game in 14 matches in all competitions at Charlton.
Striker Chris Porter, defender Marcus Williams and midfielder Nick Montgomery are all expected to continue on the bench as United bid to leapfrog Huddersfield back into the second automatic promotion spot.
