Mark Robins has made four changes and his Coventry City squad as they return to the Championship in Brentford
The Sky Blues boss has also changed roster, with two forwards leading for the first time in the division this season, giving Amadou Bakayoko his first second-place start
There is no Gus Hamer, who starts the first of a three-match ban after receiving a red card against Bournemouth, and the City boss has made the bold decision to play just one midfielder defensive to Ben Sheaf on a day when skipper Liam Kelly is on the bench
City also do not have star winger Fankaty Dabo, allegedly injured along with forward Tyler Walker, also out of the squad of the day
This means Josh Pask steps in to replace right-back in what looks like a 5-3-2 lineup
Michael Rose makes his first league start to the season, replacing Leo Ostigard to the right of the three backs one day the Norwegian falls on the bench
Ben Sheaf is deployed in the holding role in the middle of the park with Jamie Allen and Callum O’Hare providing the attack flair, with skipper Liam Kelly among the subs
And at the top, Bakayoko teams up with top scorer Matty Godden, with Max Biamou and Gervane Kastaneer offering forward-looking options from the bench
City: Marko Marosi; Josh Pask, Michael Rose, Kyle McFadzean, Dom Hyam, Ryan Giles; Jamie Allen, Ben Seaf, Callum O’Hare; Amadou Bakayoko, Matty Godden
Subs: Ben Wilson (GK), Leo Ostigard, Liam Kelly, Max Biamou, Sam McCallum, Jordan Shipley, Gervane Kastaneer
