Birmingham midfielder Sebastian Larsson is poised to return to action for the Premier League clash against Liverpool at St Andrews on Saturday.The Sweden international missed the 5-1 defeat at Aston Villa last weekend after tweaking a medial ligament in the 1-1 draw with Everton a fortnight ago.

Olivier Kapo is also pressing for a place in the starting line-up after impressing as a substitute against Villa following two months on the sidelines with a hamstring injury.

But skipper Damien Johnson will again be unavailable as he completes a three-match suspension for his sending-off at Wigan.

Birmingham (from): Taylor, Doyle, Kelly, Ridgewell, Jaidi, Schmitz, Murphy, Parnaby, Larsson, Nafti, Muamba, McSheffrey, Kapo, Forssell, Zarate, McFadden, Jerome, O'Connor.
