Birmingham City v Middlesbrough: Latest team news, score prediction, Is there a live stream? What time is kick-off?

Lee Bowyer’s side will be looking to turn their form around this midweek as they welcome Middlesbrough to St Andrew’s.

The Blues can move as high as 16th place with a win on Tuesday night if results elsewhere go in their favour. 

But Middlesbrough will be determined to get back to winning ways after only earning one point from their last two games. 

Chris Wilder’s side have fallen behind their play-off rivals, now one point behind sixth place Sheffield United. 

But a win against Birmingham could see Boro move back into the top six, and even as high as fourth place.

Bowyer’s side have not suffered any fresh injury concerns, with Teden Mengi even recovering from a hamstring injury which should see him take to the bench.

But Jeremie Bela missed last weekend’s draw with Hull City through illness so may not be available for selection still.

Troy Deeney, George Friend and Maxime Colin all remain unavailable for selection. 

Anfernee Dijksteel may return to action for Boro having missed out through illness in recent games. 

Riley McGree and Martin Payero both remain absent through injury, but James Lea Siliki and Andraz Sporar could make their return to the side. 

Middlesbrough to win 2-0.

The game is being broadcast on Sky Sports this evening via the Red Button. 

The game kicks off at 7:45pm.
