Team News

Birmingham
Hull
  • Wayne Rooney could stick with a 4-3-3 system this week but recall Jordan James and Juninho Bacuna to the starting XI.
  • None of Birmingham's six injury concerns are expected back in time to feature in midweek.
  • Hull boss Liam Rosenior could hand starts to right-back Lewie Coyle and creative midfielder Ozan Tufan on Wednesday night.
  • With Greg Docherty and Tufan involved from the bench on Saturday, the away side have just one confirmed absentee for the trip to St. Andrew's.

Prediction

  • Birmingham attempted just five shots and failed to find the back of the net on Saturday afternoon as Wayne Rooney's first game in charge of the Blues was marked by a defeat against Middlesbrough. The Midlands club had won back-to-back games under previous manager John Eustace and sit seventh in the table after 12 games.
  • Hull suffered another disappointing defeat at the weekend, conceding in the fourth minute of injury time as they were beaten 2-1 at home by Southampton. The Tigers have claimed just a single point from their last three league outings after a promising start to the campaign.
