Skipper Luke Chambers and five-goal joint-top scorer Gwion Edwards are dropped to the bench as manager Paul Lambert hands debuts to new loan signings Luke Matheson and Troy Parrott in this afternoon’s home game against Blackpool.
Chambers, previously the Blues’ only ever-present in the league this season, last missed a game he was available for in August 2019 when squad rotation saw him among the subs for the 2-1 home win against AFC Wimbledon.
The captain joins Edwards, Stephen Ward, who was also a sub for last week’s 1-1 at Crewe, on the bench with Matheson making his debut at right-back and Luke Woolfenden and Mark McGuinness the centre-halves. Myles Kenlock continues at left-back, with Tomas Holy again in goal.
