Birmingham City can again go unchanged as Leeds United come to St Andrews, a win for the Blues would see them mathematically safe from the drop although they should be safe already.

The win at Bristol City on Tuesday was a hard fought battle, but Blues came through the game unharmed meaning that they could again field the same side that not only beat Bristol, but drew 2-2 with one time promotion favourites Leicester City.

Midfielder Jonathan Spector is one player that misses out again; he still has ankle problems and will sit out the game along with Keith Fahey, Marlon King, Stephen Carr, David Murphy and Will Packwood.

City would leapfrog Leeds in the table if they could pull off a win.
As far as Leeds are concerned, they could have duo Steve Morrison and Michael Brown back in the squad for this game.

Midfielder Brown has missed the last two games after picking up a ban for reaching ten bookings while Morrison missed the midweek win over Burnley due to problems with his groin.

There is also a doubt about Captain Lee Peltier who has been suffering with a sprained ankle; this will see Tom Lees continuing to make a pairing with the heart of the defence with Jason Pearce.

Up front, Ross McCormack should be fit to play even though he picked up an injury to his ankle as the win against Burnley came to an end.

David Norris is out for the rest of the season.

Leeds will be hoping to pick up all three points from this game, not only because it would be their third straight win since Brian McDermott took over but also their first away league win since December.
