Bruce rings in changes

Birmingham boss Steve Bruce made six changes from the side which overcame Torquay in the midweek FA Cup third round replay for the bottom-of-the-table Barclays Premiership clash with Harry Redknapp’s revamped side.

Chris Sutton was handed his home debut and there were also recalls for Emile Heskey, captain Kenny Cunningham, Damien Johnson, Muzzy Izzet and Stan Lazaridis.
