Squad sheets: Birmingham City v Everton

It is Everton's turn to try and end Birmingham's impressive home record – Alex McLeish's side have now gone a year without suffering defeat at St Andrew's – and there may be a hint of desperation to the visitors' approach. Much was expected of Everton ahead of the new season but they find themselves in last place after a run of six games without victory and will be keen to generate some momentum ahead of the Merseyside derby in a fortnight's time. Tony Hibbert may return for Everton having missed last week's stalemate at Fulham with a groin injury but Louis Saha remains unavailable.
