Overview

• Birmingham host Swansea City at St Andrew’s on Saturday at 12:30 BST, with the visitors buoyed by a late Carabao Cup comeback against Nottingham Forest.
• Chris Davies confirmed no fresh injuries, with Lee Buchanan, Scott Wright, Keshi Anderson and Willum Willumsson still out; Willumsson is expected to miss a few weeks but is not a long-term concern.
• Davies acknowledged set-piece issues highlighted by Stoke’s winning corner, citing team height limitations and specific errors, and said the area is worked on every week.
• Blues have gone three matches without scoring and are focusing on greater unpredictability, quicker attacks and higher-quality final actions after strong build-up play failed to create big chances.
• New signing Jack Robinson has trained well and is pushing for selection as Davies weighs rotation without losing the team’s identity; Swansea sit seventh, one point above Blues.
