Batty returns after missing the 3-1 defeat at Wolves on Sunday due to a one-match suspension, but The Whites are without Jermaine Pennant as the on-loan winger has not been granted permission to play by the London club.
James Milner may return to the team after starting from the bench at Molineux.
Squad: Robinson, Kelly, Harte, Matteo, Morris, Camara, Barmby, Bridges, Viduka, Batty, Chapuis, Johnson, Duberry, Bakke, Olembe, McPhail, Lennon, Milner, Sakho, Kilgallon, Richardson, Carson.
