Birmingham will once more check on the fitness of David Davis ahead of their home game against Championship relegation rivals Barnsley.
The midfielder has been out since suffering a knee injury during the derby defeat to Aston Villa and Blues boss Steve Cotterill has said that the problem is not clearing up as quickly as they had hoped.
Che Adams is getting nearer full match fitness after another substitute appearance at Brentford, where he played the entire second half. The forward could be in contention to start on Saturday. Midfielder Maikel Kieftenbeld completes a two-match ban while Jonathan Grounds (knee) and Isaac Vassell (knee) remain out and will not play again this season.
Barnsley, second-bottom of the table and just two points behind 20th-placed Birmingham, will be without Matt Mills. Mills has an injury so either Matty Pearson or Adam Jackson will come into the team at St Andrew's.
Tykes boss Jose Morais has hinted that will not be the only change following the home defeat to Burton in midweek. George Moncur, Kieffer Moore, Brad Potts and Mamadou Thiam are among those who will come into contention for recalls.
Opta stats
Birmingham are winless in four home league meetings with Barnsley (D2 L2) since a 2-0 win in August 2008.
The Tykes haven't beaten Birmingham home and away in a league season since the 1946/47 campaign.
The Blues have lost their last three Championship games, failing to score each time. The last time they lost four in a row without scoring was in October 2005 (a run of five), en route to relegation from the Premier League.
Barnsley have picked up just one win from their last 17 Championship games (D6 L10), netting just nine goals in that period and never more than once in a match.
Birmingham have failed to score in 17 different Championship games this season, more than any other side in the division.
Only Middlesbrough (18) have had more different goalscorers in the Championship this season than Barnsley (17).
Prutton's prediction
Just as Birmingham looked to be getting away from the bottom three... a hat-trick of defeats has dragged them right back into heat of the battle.
Losing at home to Burton in midweek was a bit of a disaster for new Barnsley boss Jose Morais, and to be beaten by another relegation rival so soon afterwards will leave them in even bigger trouble. The Tykes have just one win in their last 17 league games and I can't see them leaving St Andrew's with anything.
David Prutton predicts: 1-0 (5/1 with Sky Bet)
