Birmingham City

The main uncertainty for Birmingham is in goal. James Beadle took a knock last week and his availability for Swansea's visit is unclear, with Ryan Allsop deputising against Millwall. Elsewhere, Seung-ho Paik could be involved again this week despite recent health problems, while Dael Fry remains uncertain after being unwell and Kristoffer Lund is not available.

At right-back, Bright Osayi-Samuel has started three of the last five games to Ethan Laird's two. In attack, Max Bird made his first start of the run against Millwall after recording a goal and two assists across his recent appearances. August Priske has scored four goals during the last five matches but did not play against Millwall.

Swansea City

Swansea's right-back picture has shifted: Ronald is out with a hamstring injury, while Filip Lissah has started four of the last five matches. Moussa Yeo remains sidelined too, and midfielders Marko Stamenic and Stephen Eustaquio are both unavailable after making four and two recent starts respectively.

At centre-back, Ben Cabango's run of starts was broken last time out, when he came on after 24 minutes at Portsmouth instead, with Jenson Seelt starting the match. Cabango had begun four of the previous five games, while Seelt has two starts in that period. Cameron Burgess is also doubtful because of an Achilles tendon injury.
