MANAGER Mark Hughes has named an unchanged side for the fifth consecutive match as Rovers look to end their season on a high and hopefully earn a place into Europe at the same time.

David Dunn and Benni McCarthy have both recovered from injuries and return to the squad with a place on the bench.

Birmingham are perhaps surprisingly unchanged after their 2-0 defeat at the hands of Fulham last weekend.

BIRMINGHAM: Taylor, Murphy, Kelly, Jaidi, Ridgwwell, Muamba, Larsson, Johnson (c), Kapo, Forssell, McFadden. Subs: Doyle, Parnaby, Nafti, McSheffrey, Zarate.

ROVERS: Friedel, Reid, Samba, Nelsen (c), Warnock, Bentley, Emerton, Vogel, Pedersen, Santa Cruz, Roberts. Subs: Brown (GK), Tugay, McCarthy, Khizanishvili, Dunn.
