Birmingham City team news
Chris Davies will be missing from the touchline on Tuesday as he serves a one-game ban. He picked up his third booking of the season after being booked mid-way through the second half.
Lee Buchanan was due to return to action with Birmingham at the end of September, but he's suffered a setback. He had recently returned to training after being sidelined with a calf injury sustained in pre-season, but a new calf injury means he's going to be out still.

Hide AdLuke Harris is going to be out for an extended period. He was made to wear a protective boot for an ankle injury and is out for the next few weeks.
Right-back Ethan Laird is also dealing with an ankle injury but has been doing some light work on the training ground.
Alfie Chang has been out for more than a year with a knee injury. He's not been included in their squad for the upcoming season, which means he's not eligible to play.
Dion Sanderson had been sidelined for the last few weeks with a foot injury but is expected to return soon. He could at least find himself among the substitute’s bench on Tuesday, having not been included against Peterborough United. Sanderson was given a run out for the under-21s on Monday.
