Team News: Wolverhampton Wanderers name same XI at Birmingham City

Wolverhampton Wanderers are unchanged for the Midlands derby at Birmingham City, while the Blues recall Diego Fabbrini in one of four alterations.

Wolverhampton Wanderers have named an unchanged team to face Birmingham City in the Midlands derby this afternoon.

Goalkeeper Carl Ikeme continues despite a broken foot, while Michael Jacobs sits on the bench after being recalled from a loan spell at Blackpool.

In-form strikers Benik Afobe and Nouha Dicko start upfront for the promotion hopefuls, who beat Leeds United 4-3 in their last game.

Birmingham have made four changes from the side that lost 4-2 to Bournemouth on Easter Monday.

Defender Paul Robinson is suspended after a red card and is replaced by Rob Kiernan, while Stephen Gleeson and Diego Fabbrini return after injury.

Demarai Gray also comes into the team in place of Lloyd Dyer, while Jonathan Spector is also fit to return but starts on the substitutes bench.

Birmingham City: Randolph, Caddis, Morrison, Kiernan, Grounds, Gleeson, Tesche, Cotterill, Fabbrini, Gray, Donaldson.
Subs: Doyle, Thomas, Novak, Shinnie, Spector, Davis, Dyer.

Wolverhampton Wanderers: Ikeme, Iorfa, Batth, Stearman, Golbourne, Henry, McDonald, Price, Sako, Afobe, Dicko.
Subs: Kuszczak, Edwards, Doyle, van La Parra, Ebanks-Landell, Jacobs, Hause.
