A 1-0 reverse at home to Watford last time out ended a two-game winning run for Blues, although the performance wasn’t too bad.
Nevertheless, Karanka has decided to bring in some fresh faces for the trip to Wales, with some of his decisions forced.
Most notably, Jake Clarke-Salter appears to be playing out of position at left-back following an injury to George Friend and Kristian Pedersen’s suspension.
Elsewhere, Maxime Colin comes back into the XI, along with Harlee Dean in defence, whilst Ivan Sanchez and Jon Toral are part of the attacking midfield trio behind Lukas Jutkiewicz.
Birmingham City quiz: Can you name the club’s top goalscorer from the last 13 seasons?
So, there was a lot for fans to discuss ahead of the game and it’s fair to say that the changes made by Karanka prompted a mixed response from the support. Here we look at some of the comments…
WHY JUKE MAN??? FFS

Would still rather play Hogan or McGree with Leko away from home. 👍

Happy with that. Natural left footed player at left back will help maintain balance. 4-2-3-1 is back.
