- Carlos Corberan has a settled starting XI outside of the right-midfield and striker positions.
- Expect Jed Wallace and Brandon Thomas-Asante to fill those roles, although Tom Fellows will be a factor from the bench.
- Daryl Dike and Jayson Molumby are both set to miss the entire playoff campaign with long-term Achilles and foot injuries respectively.
- Russell Martin trialled a 3-5-2 system on the final day against Leeds but will likely revert back to his tried and tested 4-3-3 for the play-offs.
- With Stuart Armstrong sidelined through injury, Martin's midfield selection headache is reduced with Joe Aribo, Will Smallbone and Flynn Downes the most likely combination.
