- Alex Pritchard and Lukas Jutkiewicz are both doubtful for the visit of Blackburn.
- John Eustace could opt for an unchanged starting XI after marking his first game in charge with a solid home win against Stoke.
- Defensive duo Harry Pickering and Hayden Carter are both set to miss the trip to St. Andrew's.

Okay, so my "new" New Strategy is betting on potential upsets. I think this match has the potential for such an upset precisely because of the reasons given by Harry Smith's prediction above ie. the John Eustace factor. He really should have been given the Stoke job instead of Steve Schumacher (sorry, Steve!) and I think he'll have a lot of incentive to prove a point against his old bosses at Birmingham tonight. Also, Birmingham can't seem to hit a barn door ATM! I went for odds of Rovers @ 3.25 on Betfair Exchange.
