Squad sheets: Birmingham City v Sheffield Wednesday

Birmingham have never won the FA Cup but this will not disturb the sleep of Alex McLeish so much as Tuesday's home defeat by Newcastle which has left them perilously placed in the Premier League. Add in the fact that the hosts are already in the final of the Carling Cup and Saturday's tie looks more of a chore than an occasion. For Sheffield Wednesday, two divisions below and only five points clear of the League One relegation zone, a win would bring some cheer but they are no more likely to want a replay than their opponents.
