It also means Parker continues with the back four for the second week running.
The one surprise comes with Lyle Foster retaining his spot on the right wing despite a below-par display against the Cherries, which saw him ironically jeered when he was subbed off.
Many had expected Marcus Edwards to take his place in the side, but he remains on the bench.
Josh Laurent also keeps his spot in the midfield three ahead of Lesley Ugochukwu following a good showing against Bournemouth.
Jordan Beyer, Axel Tuanzebe, Connor Roberts, Josh Cullen, Mike Tresor and Zeki Amdouni all remain sidelined.
