Kevin Nolan, Danny Guthrie, Nicky Hunt and Heidar Helguson all miss the game at Anfield due to varying reasons.
Nolan and Hunt both picked up their fifth bookings of the season against Manchester United on Saturday and are banned, whilst young Danny Guthrie is ineligible to play against his parent club.
Heidar Helguson is still recovering from a hamstring injury he picked up earlier in the season.
