Preview: Blackburn Rovers vs. Birmingham City

Blackburn Rovers vs. Birmingham City

Henning Berg picked up his first point as Blackburn Rovers manager in midweek with a 2-2 draw at Huddersfield Town.

The Norwegian saw his side only miss out on victory thanks to a last-minute goal and that may encourage him to retain the same starting lineup for their game with Birmingham City.

The 43-year-old will be hoping that his side can continue their form in front of goal from Tuesday night after it was the first time that they have scored two goals in a match since September 18.

Birmingham City boss Lee Clark is expected to make one change to the side that began the club's 2-0 victory over Bristol City on Tuesday.

Defender Curtis Davies was forced off through injury just before half-time and his replacement Jonathan Spector is expected to partner Steven Caldwell in the centre of Birmingham's defence at Ewood Park.
