The Championship meeting at St. Andrew's Stadium on Tuesday sees home side Birmingham City take to the field against Blackburn Rovers. Here is an update on the latest predicted line ups and news on player availability.
Birmingham City will be looking for an improved result here after a 2-0 Championship loss in their previous game against Sheffield Wednesday. We think that The Blues should employ a 4-2-3-1 system for this one and select Neil Etheridge, Ethan Laird, Krystian Bielik, Kevin Long, Lee Buchanan, Ivan Sunjic, Jordan James, Koji Miyoshi, Seung-ho Paik, Siriki Dembélé and Jay Stansfield.
Alfie Chang and George Hall aren’t available for Birmingham manager Tony Mowbray.
How Birmingham City might line up for the game against Blackburn Rovers
Blackburn Rovers go into this match following a 3-1 Championship win with the downing of Stoke City in their last fixture. From our viewpoint, Rovers appear most likely to begin the game with a 3-4-3 system, going with Aynsley Pears, Dominic Hyam, Kyle McFadzean, Ben Chrisene, Callum Brittain, Joe Rankin-Costello, Sondre Tronstad, Ryan Hedges, Tyrhys Dolan, Sam Gallagher and Samuel Szmodics.
From a largely full-strength squad, there’s only the sole fitness problem for the Blackburn Rovers gaffer John Eustace to contend with. John Buckley (Shoulder injury) misses out for this game.
