Birmingham City's Pablo Ibanez and Nikola Zigic have been named on the substitutes' bench for their Championship encounter with Crystal Palace.
Manager Lee Clark has chosen not to take a chance on either player's fitness after they returned from injury earlier this week.
Clark is without the services of Hayden Mullins, who is suspended after picking up a fifth yellow card of the season against Wolverhampton Wanderers last week.
High-flying Palace are without the suspended Mile Jedinak, but defender Joel Ward makes a return to the starting lineup and Stuart O'Keefe was passed fit for the bench.
Birmingham: Butland; Caddis, Davies, Caldwell, Robinson; Burke, Diop, Reilly, Elliott, Lovenkrands, King
Crystal Palace: Speroni, Ward, Delaney, Ramage, Parr, Bolasie, Dikgacoi, Garvan, Moritz, Zaha, Murray
