Chris Davies has two big calls to make in quest for Birmingham City’s best XI

Birmingham City manager Chris Davies is assessing his strongest lineup ahead of the team's upcoming match against West Bromwich Albion following the international break. With several players returning from international duty and others recovering from injury, the manager is expected to have an almost fully fit squad available, with Marc Leonard being the primary absentee due to an Achilles injury.

Davies reportedly faces major selection decisions in central midfield and on the right wing. Demarai Gray, Max Bird, and Taylor Gardner-Hickman are hoped to be ready for the resumption of Championship play, while goalkeeper James Beadle remains the first choice despite recent scrutiny.
