The Blues face ES Tunis of Tunisia in the early hours of Wednesday morning knowing that defeat will see them eliminated at the group stage of the Club World Cup.
There will be no appearance from Nicolas Jackson, who is suspended following his straight red card four minutes after coming off the bench against Flamengo.
A second start is therefore handed to Liam Delap, who assisted on his debut in the 2-0 win of Los Angeles FC and made his full debut last time out.
Reece James was poor in midfield against Flamengo and subsequently absent from training through illness ahead of the Tunis match, meaning he misses out. along with Colwill.
Noni Madueke returns to the front four from the off, but there will be disappointment for fans with the talented 21-year-old midfielder Andrey Santos on the bench.
