Birmingham vs Derby County - Birmingham have unchanged squad for meeting with Derby

Birmingham will have an unchanged squad when they take on Derby.

Blues boss Garry Monk made a couple of changes at Ipswich as he felt his side needed freshening up. Kerim Mrabti and Jota came into the starting line up.

Jacques Maghoma and Connor Mahoney will be vying for recalls after making way at Portman Road.

Birmingham have won only one of their last eight games and are just six points above the relegation zone after their points deduction.

Play-off chasing Derby will be without Duane Holmes.

The midfielder has a thigh injury and could be out for around 10 days.

Defender Scott Malone has missed the last two matches with a rib problem but he is back in training and will be assessed.

The Rams are eighth in the table and two points shy of a play-off spot as they look for back-to-back Championship wins for the first time since the start of December.
