Bolton Wanderers face a trip to Birmingham City at St. Andrews on Tuesday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Trotters will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 33 and win only 15 of the 62 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at St. Andrews was just last season, in April 2011, the Blues carving out a narrow 2 - 1 victory in a Premier League match.
