Team news

Crystal Palace's on-loan defender Claude Davis is out of this match after pulling his hamstring during Saturday's reverse at Sheffield Wednesday. Matt Lawrence will take the Derby County man's place in central defence.

Paddy McCarthy (shoulder) is still out and winger Paul Ifill faces a late fitness test on his hamstring.

Birmingham hope Lee Carsley has recovered from a neck problem, while defender Stephen Carr should should make his City bow. Strikers Kevin Phillips (hamstring), Garry O'Connor (groin) and James McFadden (knee) are all missing.
