But Paul Caddis (shoulder) and Clayton Donaldson (Achilles) might miss out again as Gianfranco Zola seeks his first win as Blues boss.

Brentford should have an unchanged squad following their bore draw with Norwich.

Rico Henry (shoulder), Lewis Macleod (knee) and Alan Judge (leg) remain sidelined for the Bees.

Callum Elder is back at parent club Leicester for treatment on the hamstring problem which has kept him out since September.

Midfielder Alan McCormack is training again after a groin injury.
