The former Leicester forward lines up alongside Jean-Louis Akpa Akpro in attack, with captain Lee Peacock dropped to central midfield.
Michael Leary joins the ex-Swindon player in the middle of the park after injuries have ruled Peter Sweeney and Dean Sinclair out of contention.
As expected, Hull loanee Jamie Devitt is ruled out with an abductor injury, meaning Michael Coulson switches to right wing and Nick Hegarty starts on the left.
Nathan Jarman returns from a three-match ban to join Robbie Stockdale and Ashley Chambers - who has recovered from an ankle injury - on the bench.
Southampton loan defender Olly Lancashire failed to recover from a foot injury, meaning Town name the same back four that featured in the 4-2 defeat at Crewe on Tuesday night.
