Mark Robins has made seven changes to his Coventry City side to face Premier League Tottenham Hotspur in the third round of the Carabao Cup on a night when Ben Sheaf and Tatsuhiro Sakamoto make a welcome return to the matchday squad.
The Sky Blues boss is sticking with Ben Wilson in goal for the competition, with the current understudy having played in the previous two rounds, while Jake Bidwell comes in for Jay Dasilva at left-back and Luis Binks for Liam Kitching at left centre-back. Milan van Ewijk and Bobby Thomas complete the back four.
Josh Eccles takes the captain’s armband in midfield where he is partnered by Jamie Allen, who comes in for the rested Victor Torp, while Jack Rudoni continues in the more advanced number ten slot. Brandon Thomas-Asante starts on the right of the forward three with Haji Wright coming in for Ephron Mason-Clark on the left.
That leaves Norman Bassette to lead the line in place of Ellis Simms, who provides attacking back-up from the bench.
City: Ben Wilson; Milan van Ewijk, Bobby Thomas, Luis Binks, Jake Bidwell; Josh Eccles, Jamie Allen; Brandon Thomas-Asante, Jack Rudoni, Haji Wright; Norman Bassette.
Subs: Brad Collins (GK), Tatsuhiro Sakamoto, Ellis Simms, Liam Kitching, Ephron mason-Clark, Ben Sheaf, Victor Torp, Kai Andrews, Harvey Broad.
