Birmingham City host Rotherham United in the Championship this afternoon.
Birmingham City face fellow strugglers Rotherham United in the Championship today, in what is a huge game near the foot of the table.
Blues go into this one without a win in any of their last five games, having lost four of those to drop down into 19th place of the table and just seven points above the drop zone – Rotherham sit a point and a place ahead of Birmingham City.

Reda Khadra made his return from injury last time out, coming off the bench – if he’s fit to start, expect him to. Elsewhere, Eustace changed to a back-five for the Wigan game with Jordan Graham coming into the XI in the left wing-back position, and Emmanuel Longelo dropping to the bench.
Alfie Chang is quickly asserting his place in the starting line up amid injuries to the likes of Bielik and Gardner, whilst Marc Roberts awaits his first start since returning from injury.
Today’s game kicks off at 3pm.
