Birmingham boss Alex McLeish has named an unchanged side for today's home Premier League clash with Wigan.

McLeish has kept faith with the players on duty in last weekend’s 2-1 reversal against Fulham at Craven Cottage.

James McFadden has again been preferred up front to Christian Benitez with the Scot recently challenged by McLeish to recapture his form of two years ago.

Wigan boss Roberto Martinez has made one change from the line-up beaten 3-0 at home by Tottenham.

Defender Titus Bramble has recovered from a hamstring injury and replaces Marcelo Moreno with Paul Scharner pushing forward into midfield.

Birmingham: Hart, Carr, Johnson, Dann, Ridgewell, Larsson, Ferguson, Bowyer, Fahey, Jerome, McFadden.

Subs: Taylor, Phillips, Benitez, Michel, Parnaby, Vignal, Gardner.

Wigan: Kirkland, Melchiot, Caldwell, Bramble, Figueroa, Thomas, Scharner, Diame, McCarthy, N’Zogbia, Rodallega.

Subs: Stojkovic, Scotland, Moses, Gomez, Sinclair, Boyce, Moreno.

Referee: Anthony Taylor.
