Blackburn Rovers have no fresh injuries to contend with whilst Scott Wharton underwent successful knee surgery this week.
John Eustace can pick from the same group for Saturday's season-defining match at Leicester City. The team came through Saturday's match unscathed and no new knocks were reported.
It means that Ryan Hedges, Arnor Sigurdsson, John Fleck, Harry Leonard and Wharton are the only absentees at The King Power Stadium. The latter underwent knee surgery this week after sustaining a serious injury against Sheffield Wednesday.

The operation was a success, much to everyone's delight. Wharton will now begin a lengthy rehabilitation process with the hope of being fit at some stage next season.
"Obviously Scotty has had his operation now and that went very successfully, thankfully," Eustace reported.
"He'll have a good time away from the football pitch and he'll come back even stronger now from this setback.
“It’s a big plus that it went well and I’m sure he’ll come back firing and being the top player he is. His level of professionalism has been second to none since I’ve been here.
“Speaking to Proc [Andy Procter) and to Scott, the surgeons told them that it went as well as it could have been.
“He’s on the mend now. He has a long time off and will be coming back near the end of next season, so there’s no rush and we’ll make sure we get him mentally right for that long slog to get back.
"He’ll be there and he’ll do that properly because of the level of professionalism he shows day in, day out."
