Birmingham v QPR

(3pm, St Andrew's).
Forget the slippers, the socks, horrendous ties and oven-cleaner aftershave - Gerry Francis won't have a better present this Christmas than the victory over Nottingham Forest last Saturday. QPR remain in a perilous position, but the three points must have given Francis's side a little self-belief, which could be crucial. More of the same tomorrow would be just the ticket but former QPR manager Trevor Francis may have other ideas. A hamstring injury rules out Gavin Peacock.
VERDICT: BACK TO THE OLD SPICE
