Birmingham will be hoping to avoid relegated against promotion-chasing Fulham and St Andrew's on Sunday.

The Blues will have Harlee Dean available for their crunch game. The defender has been banned for the last two games, including last weekend's 3-1 defeat at QPR. Marc Roberts has been deputising but could now drop out.

Blues are two points above the Sky Bet Championship relegation zone, although with a superior goal difference to 22nd-place Burton, a point should be good enough to survive.

Fulham are hopeful Matt Targett will be fit for their promotion-deciding trip. The defender limped off in Friday's 2-1 win over Sunderland with an ankle injury.

Striker Floyd Ayite has missed four games with a hamstring injury, as has on-loan Liverpool frontman Sheyi Ojo with an unspecified knock. Fulham need to better Cardiff's result against Reading to claim automatic promotion.

Prutton's prediction

As much as Slavisa Jokanovic and Co would like to, Fulham cannot control events at the Cardiff City Stadium and all they can do is win their own game and hope for a bit of rub.

Birmingham also just need a point to ensure their Championship status, but Fulham are far too strong at the moment and I cannot see them slipping up on the final day. Away win, but it is looking like the play-offs again for the Cottagers. The Blues should be safe, but it will be a nervy afternoon for them.

David Prutton predicts: 1-2 (7/1 with Sky Bet)
