From the win at West Brom last time out, David McGoldrick, Martin Cranie and Marvin Johnson drop out, with Gary Madine, Jack O'Connell and Chris Basham back in.

For Madine it will be an emotional return to the team he once represented earlier in his career, while the returns of Basham and O'Connell return United to a more recognised back-line after suspension and injury respectively.
