Team News

Birmingham
Coventry
  • Gary Rowett will likely make at least two changes this weekend with Alex Pritchard and Keshi Anderson both in line for recalls.
  • Oliver Burke and Marc Roberts are part of a four-man injury list for the home side this weekend.
  • Milan van Ewijk picked up an injury early in the second half against Southampton and will miss the trip to St. Andrew's this weekend.
  • In his place, expect Kasey Palmer to start in what will be an elsewhere unchanged starting XI.

Prediction

  • Birmingham failed to produce a response to Josh Bowler's 65th-minute goal on Wednesday night, suffering a narrow home defeat against an inconsistent Cardiff side.
  • Saturday's hosts have lost eight and drawn one of their last 10 Championship matches, leaving them languishing down in 23rd place heading into gameweek 43.
  • Coventry's play-off hopes took a major hit on Tuesday night as they were beaten 2-1 away from home by a promotion-chasing Southampton side.
  • The Sky Blues now find themselves five points behind fifth-placed Norwich and will need Preston to beat the Canaries this weekend if they are to keep their top-six dreams alive.
