Live on Sky Sports Football, 7.45pm Wednesday

Jake Clarke-Salter (shoulder) and Dan Crowley (hamstring) are ruled out but Fran Villalba (hamstring) and Gary Gardner (knee) could return.

Yoann Barbet (hamstring) is back in contention but Liam Kelly (muscle strain) misses out.

Birmingham and QPR have identical records of eight wins, four draws and eight defeats after 20 games of the season and a tight contest looks likely at St Andrew’s.

The Hoops ended a seven-game winless run by beating Preston on Saturday and that lean spell coincided with tough fixtures against Leeds, Brentford, Fulham and Nottingham Forest.

They may find things a little easier against a Birmingham side struggling defensively. 

Birmingham have kept only one clean sheet in their last 13 Sky Bet Championship fixtures.
