Birmingham V Wolverhampton - view commentary, squad, and statistics of the game live.


Fully-fit Cotterill available for Birmingham

David Cotterill could force his way back into Birmingham's starting line-up for their home derby with Wolves.

The winger had been sidelined with a hamstring injury and made his comeback at Hull last week as a second-half substitute.

He replaced Demarai Gray, who had a migraine, but the winger is expected to be fit to face out-of-form Wanderers at St Andrew's.

Maikel Kieftenbeld was struggling with a tight groin in the 2-0 defeat at the KC Stadium but the midfielder should be in Gary Rowett's squad at the weekend.

Wolves will hand Mike Williamson a debut after he joined on loan from Newcastle on Thursday.

The 31-year-old has signed for a month to ease a defensive crisis with Kortney Hause out for up to six weeks with a hamstring injury.

Ethan Ebanks-Landell is also sidelined with a fractured foot but head coach Kenny Jackett hopes to have Dominic Iorfa available after a knee problem.

Rajiv van La Parra is out with an knee injury but Jordan Graham could return to the squad after he was recalled from his loan spell at Oxford. Nouha Dicko (knee) remains a long-term absentee.
