Birmingham City vs Millwall: Confirmed starting lineups as visitors make four changes

Birmingham City play host to Millwall in the Sky Bet Championship shortly, kicking off at 7.45pm on Wednesday evening. Blues will be hoping to build further momentum after a surprise 2-0 victory over Queens Park Rangers five days ago.

In order to try and do just that, John Eustace has made no changes from last Friday’s glorious win. John Ruddy remains between the sticks, whereas Scott Hogan and Troy Deeney lead the line.

A three-man central midfield includes Krystian Bielik, Tahith Chong and Hannibal Mejbri, even despite the latter’s reckless challenges in his last outing.

The Lions meanwhile are hoping to maintain their own form, with four wins in the last five matches. They make four changes with Murray Wallace returning from injury.

As released an hour ahead of kick-off, here are the starting lineups for both sides, as well as those available on the substitutes’ benches.
