Birmingham City take on Nottingham Forest today in the Sky Bet Championship.
This past week saw Blues move out of the relegation zone and remain unbeaten since changing their manager.
Meanwhile Forest were out beating Wolverhampton Wanderers and will be expecting another happy trip to the Midlands this weekend.
Vital Quotes:
Gary Rowett on bcfc.com
I think it`s [unbeaten run] shown everyone what the players can do on the pitch and it`s also shown the players that they shouldn`t fear any team. I`d like to think everybody is realistic enough to know that it`s not going to last forever, but hopefully it`s not going to come crumbling down just yet.
For us the momentum comes from doing the right things day in and day out and making sure that we`re very competitive and 100 per cent focused and prepared every match.
We know it will be a difficult game because Forest are one of the strongest sides in the division, particularly in an attacking sense. I think regardless of that we`ve proved we’re more than a match for anybody in this division but we`re going to have to make sure we`re at our very best.
Birmingham City Team News:
Guy Moussi will be in the squad. Thomas remains suspended. Duffy could also return to the squad.
Gunning, Spector and Green remain out.
Player to watch: Darren Randolph
Randolph will no doubt be called upon at a key moment in this game if things remain close.
Blues have a lot of faith in their Irish keeper and rightly so. He could be the difference today.
Nottingham Forest Team News:
Tom Ince could start. Jack Hunt may also get a chance to play. Chris Burke is rumored to be dropped for the game.
Player to watch: Andy Reid
The Irishman is a key leader on the pitch for Forest and will look to inspire his team to a professional performance.
