There are a few ways that side could line up, though we’d suggest there is return to midfield for Sam Hutchinson, with a back four of Jack Hunt, Dominic Iorfa, Chey Dunkley and Liam Palmer.

Barry Bannan and Dennis Adeniran line up alongside Hutchinson in midfield, with Berahino and Olamide Shodipo playing alongside Lee Gregory up top.

There’s no George Byers on the bench, so too Jaden Brown or Callum Paterson.

Shrewsbury arrive fourth-bottom of League One and have only one win in 10 in all competitions.

They’ve lost all three away matches this season, though one resulted in a EFL Cup penalties win over Lincoln. Furthermore, they’ve claimed only one win in eight away from home since March.

That said, in all matches against Shrewsbury in Wednesday history, they’ve a win percentage of only 29 per cent.
