Team news
Albion are without midfielder Jason Molumby, who is suspended after being sent off following two yellow cards in Saturday's defeat by Coventry.
Defender George Campbell completed the 90 minutes having missed the last three matches with a thigh injury and will be available again.
Demarai Gray went down the tunnel with a member of Birmingham's medical team after being substituted in the win over Norwich, but with no official update appears to be fit to feature on Wednesday.
The stats
West Brom have lost just once at home to Birmingham in seven Championship meetings at The Hawthorns since March 2007.
Birmingham have scored four goals in each of their last three home matches, conceding just once and winning all three, however, the Blues have recorded a total of just two goals across their last three games on the road.
The Baggies have kept a clean sheet at home on just two occasions this Championship campaign, but are yet to concede more than one goal in a game at The Hawthorns.
Blues striker Jay Stansfield is the second-joint top scorer in the Championship, but only one of his eight goals this season have come away from St Andrew's – against Blackburn at Ewood Park in August.

Prediction
West Brom are down in 17th after suffering four defeats in the last six. However, the Championship table is so tightly packed that the Baggies could move into the top ten and level on points with Wednesday's opponents should they earn a victory.
However, it seems easier said than done currently with Albion struggling for any sort of consistency under Ryan Mason this season.
The Blues, meanwhile, have one of the best home records in the league, but have lost five of their eight games on the road.
However, having scored a total of 12 goals in three straight wins at St Andrew's, it seems it is only a matter of time before City start clicking into gear when playing away to mount a serious push for the play-offs.
Birmingham have come into form at the right time and could nick the game, while seven of their last 10 matches have featured over 2.5 goals.
