The last of the local derbies this season sees Albion welcome Birmingham to the Hawthorns for the first time in nearly a decade, since the 3-1 win in September 2010. Things haven't gone well for them in the interim, with the deduction of nine points this month just the latest bit of bad news down in Small Heath. For Albion, with no new manager in sight, it remains a question of whether Shan can conjure up another three points in what will undoubtedly be a hard-fought battle on Friday night.
