Team News

Birmingham
Ipswich
  • Wayne Rooney could make two changes for the visit of high-flying Ipswich with Jay Stansfield and Marc Roberts coming in for starts.
  • Midfielder Juninho Bacuna will return to the matchday squad after serving a one-match ban last weekend.
  • Kieran McKenna will likely opt for an unchanged starting XI on Saturday following his side's latest win.
  • With Axel Tuanzebe and Freddie Ladapo back fit, the Tractor Boys have just two confirmed absentees for the trip to the Midlands.

Prediction

  • The misery continued for Wayne Rooney and Birmingham last time out as they were well-beaten by Russell Martin's in-form Southampton side. The former Derby and DC United manager has endured a nightmare start to his time at St. Andrew's, losing each of his first three games in charge.
  • Ipswich were once again the better side last weekend as they beat fellow newly promoted side Plymouth 3-2 at Portman Road. The away side have dropped just five points from 13 games this season and head into this weekend's fixtures nine points clear of third-placed Leeds with a game in hand.
