Birmingham City will host visitors Middlesbrough at St. Andrew's Stadium in their Championship clash on Tuesday, and we have the latest injury news and predicted line ups to hand.
Birmingham City will be hoping to return to winning ways here after a 1-0 Championship loss in their previous game against Millwall. It seems likely that The Blues will possibly opt for a 4-2-3-1 system for this game featuring John Ruddy, Ethan Laird, Emanuel Aiwu, Marc Roberts, Lee Buchanan, Andre Dozzell, Seung-ho Paik, Jordan James, Alex Pritchard, Juninho Bacuna and Jay Stansfield.
It’s a low absenteeism rate, with just one fitness concern for the Birmingham City boss Tony Mowbray to be concerned about from a near full-strength squad. Alfie Chang will miss out.
How Birmingham City could look to play Middlesbrough
Middlesbrough will come into the clash following a 0-2 Championship win versus Queens Park Rangers in their previous match. It’s our belief that The Boro will likely make use of a 3-4-1-2 system, settling for Seny Dieng, Patrick McNair, Rav van den Berg, Matt Clarke, Luke Ayling, Jonathan Howson, Lewis O'Brien, Lukas Engel, Riley McGree, Emmanuel Latte Lath and Marcus Forss.
Due to a mostly full-strength squad, there is only the lone fitness worry for the Middlesbrough boss Michael Carrick to be concerned with. Darragh Lenihan (Ankle surgery) won’t be in action.
