A defensive change and Priske returns – Birmingham City predicted XI to face West Brom

Alex Dicken projects Birmingham City manager Chris Davies to introduce a defensive change and recall August Priske for the clash against West Bromwich Albion. Following the international break, Priske returned to action with Denmark under-21s and is expected to lead the attack ahead of Luis Vazquez. Meanwhile, Ethan Laird is predicted to start at right-back over Bright Osayi-Samuel, who faced significant travel with Nigeria.

Birmingham City will be without midfielder Paik Seung-ho following an injury sustained on international duty with South Korea. West Brom enter the Hawthorns fixture unbeaten at home under James Morrison, though the hosts will miss the injured Nolan Galves and Mikey Johnston.
