Team News

Birmingham
Norwich
  • Gary Rowett will be without Oliver Burke and Alfie Chang when Norwich visit St. Andrew's on the final day.
  • Centre-back Marc Roberts and attacking midfielder Tyler Roberts are both in contention for recalls.
  • David Wagner could rotate slightly on the final day with Jacob Sorensen and Jon Rowe both hoping to showcase their talent before the play-offs get underway.
  • Centre-back Grant Hanley is closing in on a return to action, while Ashley Barnes is a doubt after he hobbled off during the draw against Swansea.

Prediction

  • Birmingham were in front for just two minutes against relegation rivals Huddersfield last time out with Rhys Healey's strike restricting the Blues to just a point on their visit to Yorkshire.
  • Gary Rowett's men occupy 22nd place heading into this final-day clash, but have Blackburn, Sheffield Wednesday and Plymouth in their sights.
  • Working in the home side's favour is that Norwich head into this fixture knowing that, failing a disastrous collapse, they will finish in the top six come the full-time whistle.
  • A 2-2 draw against Swansea in gameweek 45 means that they head into this fixture unbeaten in five league games and three points clear of seventh-placed Hull with a far superior goal difference.
