Birmingham will continue to be without Keshi Anderson and Willum Willumsson when they make the short trip to Coventry City on Saturday (12:30pm) - two of four players who will miss the big Midlands derby at the CBS Arena.

Winger Anderson, 30, and 26-year-old attacking midfielder Willumsson have missed Blues’ last two matches and aren’t expected to return until after the October international break according to manager Chris Davies.
