Team News

Birmingham
WBA
  • John Eustace could opt for an unchanged starting XI this weekend after his side hammered Huddersfield in midweek.
  • The Blues have five injuries to contend with ahead of the visit of West Brom.
  • Just like his opposite number, no changes are expected from West Brom boss Carlos Corberan on Friday night.
  • With centre-back Semi Ajayi returning to the bench in midweek, the Baggies have three confirmed absentees for the trip to St. Andrew's.

Prediction

  • Birmingham scored four goals from 12 attempts on Tuesday night as they romped to a much-needed 4-1 home win against an in-form Huddersfield side. The Blues were winless in their previous five league outings prior to Tuesday's win with that result alleviating some of the early pressure John Eustace was facing.
  • An early John Swift goal proved the difference for West Brom in midweek as they closed out a 1-0 home win against basement boys Sheffield Wednesday, who attempted just four shots in response. Carlos Corberan's side got off to a slow start this season but are now unbeaten in five league games ahead of this Midlands derby.
