Birmingham are still sitting comfortably in the middle of the table. The only team who managed to beat them lately was Chelsea, while their unbeaten run at St Andrew's is long games long. They welcome relegation troubled Wolverhampton today, and they will look to make double over Mick McCarthy's side, after 1-0 win in reverse fixture in November.

Birmingham have one of the weakest attacks in league, and with just 22 goals in 23 games they are slightly better than their today's opponents Wolves who scored 19. But with 23 goals allowed they have one of the best defenses in league and they can be compared with the likes of Manchester United or Chelsea who conceded 20 goals so far.

Wolves are involved in dog fight at the bottom, and at the moment they are second from bottom, with only Portsmouth behind them. Additional problem for them is their really poor goal difference, and that's a fact which could see them relegated at the end.

Alex McLeish is set to name the same starting eleven for 12th consecutive game in EPL, as he's still without injured Tainio, Carsley and O'Connor.

Wolves are without injured Keogh, Kightly, Edwards and Murray, but Doyle, Jarvis, Ward and Hahnemann are set to return.

This will be probably another low scoring game at St Andrew's, with home side probably winning at the end of the day.
