Aside from the uncertainty of the game going ahead. Surely Ulloa can't play as we have heard nothing from the club/press about his international clearance

Head-to-head
• This is the 18th league meeting. Both clubs have won five of the previous 17 since the first clash in 1980.
• Chris Burke's wonder-strike was the only goal of the league meeting at the Amex over three months ago, and gives Birmingham the chance to not only extend their unbeaten run against the Seagulls to eight league and cup games, but also to complete a first ever league double over them.
• The first goal scored in this game will be the 50th generated in competitive engagements between the pair.
Birmingham
• The Boxing Day win at Barnsley is Birmingham's only victory in their last nine league and cup games.
• Lee Clark's side are 16 points down on the same stage last season.
• All but four of their 27 league games have either been drawn or decided by a single goal.
Brighton
• Brighton, three points short of the play-offs, are defending a 100% record in this calendar year, having won two league games in addition to knocking Newcastle out of the FA Cup.
• Gus Poyet's charges have not lost away to a club outside the top five.
• Championship matches involving the Seagulls have yielded fewer goals than any other club (64).
• Wayne Bridge is hoping to make his 400th career club start.

Thought the inspection was at 9.30am so if it was called off it would stop away supporters travelling
