Team News

Birmingham
Preston
  • Expect a couple of changes from Gary Rowett on Monday with Jordan James and Koji Miyoshi both in line for recalls.
  • Striker Lukas Jutkiewicz joins Alfie Chang and Marc Roberts on the Birmingham injury list for the game against Preston.
  • Ryan Lowe will be sweating over the fitness of wing-back Liam Millar after he returned from international duty with Canada carrying a knock.
  • Brad Potts and Ched Evans are both confirmed absentees for Ryan Lowe ahead of the trip to St. Andrew's, while Ryan Ledson has been ruled out with a calf problem.

Prediction

  • Birmingham's fate is looking more and more desperate with every passing weekend, and the Midlands-based club suffered another damaging defeat on Good Friday, losing 2-1 against relegation rivals QPR. The Blues have now picked up just one point from the last 21 available with only the poor form of Huddersfield and Sheffield Wednesday keeping them out of the drop zone.
  • Preston, on the other hand, head into this game off the back of consecutive league wins following a straightforward 3-0 home win against a doomed Rotherham side. Ryan Lowe's men have tasted defeat in just one of their last 10 Championship matches but are struggling to make up ground on sixth-placed Norwich.
