Birmingham could be without Radhi Jaidi who has failed to recover from a thigh injury. Fellow defender David Murphy could be drafted back in after recovering from a knee injury.
Alex McLeish could be tempted to stick with the same team that beat Sheffield Wednesday 3-1 on Saturday, meaning that James McFadden, back from a groin injury would have to be happy with a place on the bench.
Loan signing Quincy Owusu-Abeyie is in contention after recovering from a thigh injury but he too may have to start on the bench.
Damien Johnson remains unavailable with a back injury while McLeish has let Souleymane Mamam leave the club after a one-month trial.
