Team News

Cardiff
Birmingham
  • Erol Bulut could make as many as three changes on Wednesday night with Joe Ralls, Rubin Colwill and Yakou Meite all likely to return.
  • Aaron Ramsey and Callum O'Dowda remain the home side's only injury worries ahead of the visit of Birmingham.
  • Wayne Rooney could hand starts to Ivan Sunjic and Scott Hogan as he looks to rotate his squad in midweek.
  • Defensive duo Cody Drameh and Dion Sanderson are both doubtful after missing the game against Coventry on Friday night.

Prediction

  • Cardiff were forced to wait until the 78th minute of their game against Millwall to find a breakthrough at the weekend although when it did come, Dimitrios Goutas' goal proved enough to earn the Welsh side all three points. The Bluebirds still lack a regular goal source, but they have climbed back up to seventh place heading into gameweek 21.
  • Birmingham couldn't live with the attacking threat of Callum O'Hare on Friday night as the Coventry midfielder scored a brace to help his side to a 2-0 win against Wayne Rooney's men. The under-fire manager has overseen just one win during his first nine games in charge of the Blues, who have now dropped to 17th in the table.
