After missing last weekend's match at Millwall due to international duty, Cullen comes back into the side to replace Daniel Devine in central midfield.
Deadline day signings Haris Vuckic and Marc McNulty have been named on an attack-minded bench for City at the MEMS Priestfield Stadium.
Filipe Morais and the fit-again James Hanson are also among City's substitutes. Goalkeeper Rouven Sattelmaier and defender Matthew Kilgallon complete City's list of possible replacements.
