Team news

Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Ruiz confirmed he has an unchanged squad to select from ahead of the trip to the Midlands.

He said, "We picked up no new injuries during the game. Our player availability remains identical to last week - no additions and no new absences.

"A few players are nearing a return, and our medical team is doing an incredible job getting them ready, so we are looking forward to having them back soon."
