Midfielder Tommy Smith should return to the side after he missed out at Carrow Road under the terms of his loan deal, with Leon Clarke likely to make way.
Norway international Petter Vaagen Moen could also be added to the squad after joining from SK Brann.
Defender Peter Ramage and midfielders Akos Buszaky and Lee Cook are still on the sidelines with knee injuries.
Neil Warnock's side remain four points clear at the top despite Saturday's setback.
