McParland will take charge of a much-weakened Blues side in the FA Cup at Chelsea on Sunday with midfielder Jake Livermore also now ruled out of the trip to Stamford Bridge.

Town again were left ruing missed chances after drawing 0-0 away at Bristol City. Jon Stead, Owen Garvan, Jon Walters and Pablo Couñago all missed good opportunities for the Blues, while ex-Town striker Danny Haynes hit both posts with the home side’s best two chances.
Goals from Tamás Priskin and Gareth McAuley saw the Blues to a 2-1 victory against Sheffield United at Bramall Lane. Priskin put Town in front early on before Stephen Quinn equalised for the home side, McAuley grabbing the winner just before half-time.
