Player to Watch: Jay Stansfield
Birmingham will need their best striker to be in his top form as the team is fighting for survival in the Championship. Stansfield has been the best player for the home team this season scoring 11 goals and assisting on a couple of occasions.
He has played in 38 matches missing some due to nine yellow cards he received. The 21-year-old is on loan at Birmingham from Fulham, and whatever happens until the end of the season, Stansfield will find his experience in Birmingham a worthwhile adventure.
