Birmingham
Southampton

  • George Hall, Alfie Chang and Alex Pritchard have all been ruled out of the game against Southampton.
  • James Bree returned to the matchday squad last weekend, but winger Ryan Fraser is now facing a month on the sidelines with a knee injury.

Prediction

  • Two late goals from Jeremy Sarmiento and Omari Hutchinson condemned Birmingham to defeat against Ipswich last time out as the Blues left Portman Road empty-handed.
  • Mark Venus' men had won back-to-back league games prior to that result, but are now just three points clear of the relegation zone.
  • Southampton couldn't produce a response to Zian Flemming's 44th-minute penalty last weekend as they were beaten 2-1 at home by Millwall.
  • After a sensational unbeaten run, Russell Martin's side have now lost three of their last four Championship matches, dropping five points behind both Leeds and Ipswich in the battle for second place.
