Player to Watch: Ben Brereton Diaz

There is only one man to big up in this game and that's Ben Brereton Diaz. The transfer window is nearly closed and yet he's still at Ewood Park; that's huge for the club.

As for the player himself and where he is right now, he has 12 goals for the season along with four assists and is a constant threat. Birmingham better watch out.
