Blues make two changes to the side and the fans are all set to rock at the Reebok as Alex McLeish's men prepare to take on Bolton in the final game of the 2009/10 season.
Captain Stephen Carr returns after missing the 2-1 Burnley win last weekend, with Stuart Parnaby dropping down to the bench, and there's a place in the starting line-up for Spanish midfielder Michel (pictured), who comes in for striker Chucho in what looks like being a 4-5-1 formation.
Over 4,200 Bluenoses have made the journey to the North West, many of them in fancy dress, and are in the mood for celebrating a campaign that may well see their side finish in their best ever top flight position since 1959.
A draw at the Reebok Stadium would make certain a ninth place Premier League placing - a fantastic achievement in Blues' return to what is arguably the toughest league in world football.
Bolton, themselves assured of top flight status, will also want to finish the season on a high - especially in front of their own fans - and their manager Owen Coyle has named a strong team.
It includes former Blues midfielder Fabrice Muamba and one time target Gary Cahill. Captain Kevin Davies carries an obvious goal threat too.
