Team news
Demarai Gray picked up a shoulder injury against Wrexham and is a doubt for the home side, with Patrick Roberts in line to replace him.
For the visitors, Flynn Downes is the key doubt after picking up a knock in the win over Millwall and James Ward-Prowse could be set for the first start of his second stint as a Saints player.

Both teams have scored in six of the previous seven meetings in league and cup.

Prediction
An entertaining evening is in prospect at St Andrew's as Southampton come calling. Saints have scored nine goals in three Championship outings so far, making them joint-leading goalscorers in the second tier.
The south coast side are also unbeaten in the last six meetings with the Blues and Tonda Eckert will have full faith in his team after they thrashed Millwall 5-1 at the weekend.
Confidence should be high within Chris Davies' squad too after they went to Wrexham on Friday night and registered their first league victory at the third attempt, with the Blues unbeaten in the Championship.
There were 19 corners at St Mary's in the Saints' win over Millwall, while Birmingham are averaging seven flag-kicks per game so far this season. Combining for double figures should be within reach.
Cyle Larin has made a very bright start to the season for Southampton, the Canada international firing a brace on Saturday to take his tally to five so far.
He nodded in from close range for his first and added a stunning second in the second half against the Lions and can continue his good form against a Blues defence that has been breached nine times in three games recently.
Score prediction: Birmingham 1-2 Southampton
