Birmingham City team news

The hosts are expected to be without Scott Wright, Marvin Ducksch and Kanya Fujimoto due to injuries.

Davies will opt for rotations given that the Blues make the trip to Blackburn Rovers next. So new players James Beadle and Eiran Cashin can fancy their club debuts here.

In attack, Lyndon Dykes might be brought in, with the possibility of either Jay Stansfield or Kyogo Furuhashi, or even both, being rested.

Sheffield United team news

After Tyler Bindon and Louie Barry made their competitive debuts last Saturday, Djibril Soumare will be in line for his first start at the club after joining on loan from Braga.

Unfortunately, the midfield trio of Oliver Arblaster, Tom Davies and Jamie Shackleton are still out due to injury.
