Team News

Birmingham
Crawley
  • Krystian Bielik and Paik Seung-ho have both picked up injuries and look set to miss out.
  • Marc Leonard is likely to replaced Seung-ho and make a rare start in midfield.
  • Goalkeeper Jojo Wollacott looks set to miss out through injury, so Luke Hutchinson will make a second start on the bounce.
  • Junior Quitirna is doubtful with a hamstring problem.

Prediction

  • Despite a disappointing showing in last weekend's EFL Trophy final defeat to Peterborough, it's set to be a party atmosphere for Birmingham in their first game since returning to the Championship as League One champions.
  • The Blues are unbeaten at home all season and that outstanding run is unlikely to end here.
  • Consecutive defeats has left Crawley on the verge of an instant return to League Two and they need a miracle to avoid that happening.
  • The Red Devils are six points from safety with just 12 points up for grabs and must produce their best performance of the season to spring a surprise here.
