Birmingham City aim to extend their winning run to three matches when they host Queens Park Rangers at St. Andrew's this Saturday. The Blues are in strong form, sitting fourth in the Championship with 17 points from their opening ten games.
They come into the match on the back of a commanding 4-0 home victory over Preston North End last weekend. That result followed a 1-0 away win against West Bromwich Albion, giving the side momentum ahead of the visit of QPR. The visitors themselves are in good form, having beaten Derby County 4-1 in their last outing.
August Priske, Birmingham's top scorer this season with four goals, netted a brace in the win over Preston. Liam Millar and Demarai Gray also found the net in that comprehensive performance. The team's recent results, including a draw with Middlesbrough and a win at Derby, have stays in the playoff places, just six points behind leaders Swansea City.
Managerial decisions will be influenced by the continued absence of midfielder Paik Seung-Ho and defender M. Leonard. The starting lineup from the Preston win is likely to be the blueprint, featuring Beadle in goal and a midfield anchored by Iwata and Solis.
The club's next fixture after this is another home game, with the full schedule available on our fixtures page.
