Nigel Adkins' Hull City have won both their last two Championship matches 1-0Follow live text coverage from 14:00 GMT on Saturday
Birmingham City are without suspended midfielder Gary Gardner for the visit of Hull City.
He has a one-game ban after his fifth Championship yellow card of the season in the 3-1 defeat at Derby, so Charlie Lakin stands by, with David Davis and Jacques Maghoma both still out.
On top of defender Angus MacDonald's long-term deep vein thrombosis problem, Nouha Dicko (hamstring) is also out.
And Evandro has now suffered a calf strain on top of his hamstring injury.

Jutkiewicz deserves his rewards - Monk
Hull defender MacDonald out until March
Blues have still only lost once at St Andrew's since Garry Monk took over on 4 March - and that was in his first game in charge, 1-0 against his old club Middlesbrough.
Monk's men, who had gone 11 games without defeat until losing at Derby on 3 November, are 10th, just three points off a play-off place and eight points clear of 23rd-placed Hull.
