Heskey returns for Blues

Emile Heskey returns from suspension as Birmingham travel to local rivals West Brom on Sunday with right-back Mario Melchiot also back in action.

Heskey will replace Republic of Ireland international Clinton Morrison in attack after missing the 2-0 defeat by Crystal Palace serving a one-match ban. Melchiot was also missing at Palace due to a knee injury and is in line to take over from Olivier Tebily.
