ALBION v BLUES - LIVE! James Morrison's men fall to their second successive 1-0 derby day defeat

After losing to their Black Country rivals Wolves, James Morrison's side were second best against their second city neighbours, Birmingham City.

Albion's five changes

Aune Heggebo keeps his place in the side alongside JJ Morgan. But Morrison brings in Chris Mepham Rabby Nzingoula, Toby Collyer, Felix Horn Myhre and Bryaan Pereira. Three of the players to make way have been away on international duty, George Campbell, Jayson Molumby and Isaac Price. Callum Styles reverts to his usual left back spot for Conor Townsend. And Rabby is preferred to Harry Whitwell. Mepham is captain.
