Nottingham Forest manager Alex McLeish returns to St Andrew's on Saturday for the first time since leaving Birmingham City to join arch-rivals Aston Villa.
The Scot took over from Sean O'Driscoll in December and is looking to continue the team's push for a spot in the playoffs.
Adlene Guedioura is still unavailable due to his commitments in the Africa Cup of Nations with Algeria, but otherwise McLeish will have a full squad from which to choose.
A booking for either Billy Sharp or Andy Reid will see them incur an automatic one-game suspension.
Stephens Carr and Will Packwood are both long-term injury problems for the hosts, who are looking for back-to-back league wins.
Marlon King's last-minute strike saw the Blues defeat Burnley 2-1 at Turf Moor on Saturday.
The immediate future of Jack Butland seems to lie with Stoke City, so Colin Doyle will no doubt deputise should he complete a move to the Britannia Stadium.
