Preview: Birmingham City vs. Burnley

Birmingham City face Burnley on Saturday afternoon as they look to improve on just one victory in six Championship matches.

Manager Lee Clark has seen his side fail to hoist themselves clear of the relegation zone throughout the season and they will be eager to prevent Saturday's opponents from creating a seven-point gap between the two sides.

Birmingham will be without full-back Paul Caddis after he suffered a hamstring injury in last week's 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace but Hayden Mullins returns after a one-match suspension.

Burnley travel to St Andrews without a win in four games and they have fallen to 17th place in the Championship table.

Manager Sean Dyche will be able to call upon the services of Michael Duff and Chris McCann, who both return from suspension.
