Out on razz tomorrow, so post going up early.....
Bottom club Birmingham have striker Sam Gallagher available again following his one-match ban for the visit of Championship promotion hopefuls Leeds.
Midfielder David Davis is also pushing for a return to the starting line-up as Blues seek a first win in eight games.
Leeds playmaker Samuel Saiz is back after two games out with a calf issue.
Ronaldo Vieira will be assessed after suffering a knock in the 2-1 win at Burton on Boxing Day, while Stuart Dallas could be missing again.
Dallas scored twice in Leeds' 2-1 victory at St Andrew's in April 2016 - one of three wins in the Yorkshire side's last four unbeaten visits.
Pierre-Michel Lasogga continued his comeback with a 15-minute spell off the bench against the Brewers and is pushing for a start for fifth-placed Leeds.
SAM's prediction
Home win 31% Draw 29% Away win 40%

Match facts
Birmingham City have won only two of their last nine Championship matches against Leeds United.
Blues have won just twice in 13 Championship games under Steve Cotterill, during which they have scored just five goals.
Leeds have not won their final league match in a calendar year since 2009, when they won 4-2 at Stockport County.
Birmingham have scored just 12 league goals in 24 games this term - comfortably the lowest of any team in the Football League.
Thomas Christiansen's side have had five different players contribute five-plus Championship goals this term: Kemar Roofe (7), Samu Saiz (5), Kalvin Phillips (5), Ezgjan Alioski (5) and Pierre-Michel Lasogga (5) - the largest spread of any team.
0 - 3 to the Leeds.
MOT.

Interesting no Saiz again - maybe like we thought keeping him for the next game - hopefully we can do the job today again with a settled team, except Phillips in for Viera. Interesting choice of Shaughnessy i'm guessing in CM?Originally Posted by pilgrimwhite

Calf strain kept him out previously..maybe just a precaution to keep him fresh for the match on New Years day.
