Dyer (hamstring) and Kalulu (ankle) are both still out with injuries sustained in the Preston game last Saturday. Carroll is continuing to build up his fitness after a long term injury and had some game time with the U23’s, where they drew at home against Villa last Monday, although he didn’t play last night at Middlesboro in the 3-2 defeat.
Birmingham look set to continue with their 5-3-2 formation after both strikers Alvaro Gimenez and Lukas Jutkiewicz scored in the 2-0 mid-week win over Barnsley.
