Team News: Amari'i Bell makes his Birmingham City debut

Blues debut for Bell

Amari'i Bell has been handed his first start in a Birmingham City shirt after Mitch Hancox failed a late fitness test for the Blues.

The youngster, who was on loan at Nuneaton Town earlier this season, was called on by manager Lee Clark in time for tonight's home game against leaders Leicester City.

Paul Caddis captains the side in place of the suspended Paul Robinson.

Meanwhile, the Foxes have brought Marcin Wasilewski into the starting lineup for their only change, with the defender replacing the injured Liam Moore.

There is also a 100th Leicester appearance for skipper Wes Morgan.

Birmingham City: Randolph, Caddis, Bartley, Packwood, Bell, Adeyemi, Lee, Burke, Brown, Rusnak, Novak Subs: Doyle, Mullins, Reilly, Ferguson, Howard, Gray, Lovenkrands

Leicester City: Schmeichel, De Laet, Wasilewski, Morgan, Konchesky, Knockaert, James, Drinkwater, Dyer, Nugent, Vardy Subs: Hammond, King, Schlupp, Taylor-Fletcher, Logan, Mahrez, Phillips
