Savage missing for Blues
Birmingham will be without midfielder Robbie Savage for the home Barclaycard Premiership meeting with Southampton.
The Welsh international has to serve a one-match suspension after incurring five bookings during the current campaign.
Aliou Cisse could replace him before heading off for African Nations Cup duty with Senegal – if he can shake off a thigh strain – with Bryan Hughes also in contention.
Olivier Tebily may be given a rare start after slotting in at right-back at half-time during the midweek 4-1 defeat at Tottenham – allowing Jeff Kenna to switch flanks to replace the out of position and out of sorts Darren Carter.
Provisional squad: Taylor, Tebily, Purse, Cunningham, Kenna, Carter, Johnson, Clemence, Hughes, Dunn, Cisse, Forssell, Morrison, Bennett, John, Kirovski, Barrowman, Motteram.
