Birmingham City v Palace

St Andrews, Saturday 3.00pm

Dean Moxey

Team news

Birmingham City look to welcome back Keith Fahey to the starting lineup after missing the last three games through injury.

Defenders Stephen Carr (knee), Jonathan Spector (thigh) and Pablo Ibanez (hamstring) all miss out.

Dean Moxey will look to continue as a make-shift centre back for the Eagles as Paul McShane (hip) and Anthony Gardner (hamstring) are ruled out.

Mile Jedinak is ruled out for the rest of the season so Owen Garvan will continue in the middle.
