Birmingham City host Queens Park Rangers in their next Championship match at St Andrew's on Saturday (3pm)

Alex Dicken assesses Birmingham City manager Chris Davies' selection options ahead of facing QPR, highlighting Max Bird, Carlos Vicente, and Demarai Gray as potential inclusions. Birmingham enter the clash following a 4-0 victory over Preston, during which Liam Millar opened the scoring and Stanley Mills was sent off.
The writer argues that despite Bird pushing for a start in midfield, Davies is unlikely to displace the in-form pairing of Tomoki Iwata and Jhon Solis. However, Dicken predicts Vicente could replace Patrick Roberts on the right flank, while Millar is expected to start on the left in a 4-2-3-1 setup.
