14th place Blackburn Rovers host 15th place Birmingham City in this relegation battle at Ewood Park. Whilst Rovers recorded a decent 0-0 away to Arsenal last weekend, Birmingham got an important 3 points, winning 2-1 against Bolton.

Steve Kean’s Blackburn are still 2nd from bottom in the form guide and are without a win in over six games, with their last 3 home games ending in a defeat and two draws. However, his team will have gained some confidence from the clean sheet last week.

Midfielder Steven N’Zonzi is suspended for the next 3 games following the sending off in that 0-0 game, whilst Vince Grella appears to be out for the rest of the season.

League Cup winners, Birmingham will be in search of back-to-back 3 points that will increase their chances of survival. Alex McLeish could be without Alexander Hleb and James McFadden whilst defender Scott Dann looks to be out for the last run-in of games.

Six of the last eight games between these two sides have ended 2-1 to the home side, but with Rovers’ poor form of late and Birmingham having enough quality in their side I can’t see a home win in this fixture.
