Henri
Camara is still looking for his second goal in Wolves
colours. His pace frightened Middlesbrough and its sure to
cause Birmingham trouble.

Mikael
Forssell is Birminghams leading scorer with 4 goals. The
striker, on loan from Chelsea will be looking to make it 5
goals at Molineux on Saturday.

Preview |
|
.
This is the first
West Midlands Derby of Wolves Barclaycard Premiership history
and it`s Massive in all senses.
Birmingham started
the season on a flyer whilst Wolves struggled at the bottom of
the table.
A min-run of 6
games undefeated gave Wolves hope before that run ended at the
Riverside Stadium last week.
Birmingham, who
host the tightest defence in the Division conceded twice at
home last week against Charlton, a game which ended their long
undefeated run at St Andrews.
The game is live
on Premiership Plus and fans are reminded it is a 12.30 kick
off.
Full report after the
game.
