Sports Mole previews the Midlands derby between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Birmingham City.

Wolverhampton Wanderers host Birmingham City on Saturday evening as both sides look to edge towards the top half of the Championship table.

The pressure has eased on Wolves manager Stale Solbakken after Wolves beat Bristol City 4-1 last weekend to earn their first win in 10 games.

David Edwards picked up a hamstring injury last weekend that is likely to keep him out of action for two months so Solbakken is likely to recall David Davis.

Birmingham City manager Lee Clark could make two changes to the side that beat Middlesbrough 3-2 last week.

Wade Elliott could return to the starting lineup in place of Ravel Morrison while Chris Burke could replace Rob Hall.
