The Lancashire-based official is yet to referee any of Blues games so far this season.
The last time Mark Halsey took charge of a Blues match was in our Football Largue Championship home game against Wolves on 6th April 2009. No Blues players were booked but the now departed Lee Carsley was shown a staright red card in our 2-0 win at St Andrews on that occasion.
In total Mark Halsey has taken charge of just 2 games so far this season in which he has handed out 4 yellow cards and no reds.
Glenn Turner and Simon Long will be Mark Halsey's assistant's for the live television game at St Andrews on Sunday afternoon.
