[Mighty T.A.L.]

Southampton playmaker Inigo Idiakez has yet to recover from the thigh strain which has kept him out for the past three games, so manager George Burley may name the same side which beat Luton at the weekend.

Striker Kenwyne Jones (ankle) is now fit, however, and may challenge for a place in the starting XI.

Birmingham boss Steve Bruce is expected to call on Cameron Jerome after the youngster's recovery from illness, but Damien Johnson is still out with a double fracture of the jaw.

Mikael Forsell is also set to be kept on the sidelines by the knee injury which he has carried since the middle of October.
