Ben House returned from illness to lead the line for City at Rotherham United.
The centre-forward was forced to sit out Saturday's Emirates FA Cup win a Crawley, but is fit for this fixture.
It is one of three changes made by head coach Michael Skubala. Adam Jackson returns at the centre of defence, with Lewis Montsma rested, while Conor McGrandles also starts.
