The Blues centre-back is the most likely replacement for Liam Ridgewell, who is beginning a two game suspension after picking up his tenth yellow card of the season in last weekend's defeat at Reading.
Taylor has now completed his three game suspension for his now infamous sending off in the home draw against Arsenal when he broke Gunners striker Eduardo's leg with a late challenge.
He was available for selection for the Reading game but was not included in manager Alex McLeish's squad.
McLeish does have other options in replacing Ridgewell with Franck Queudrue and Rafael Schmitz both being capable of playing at the heart of the defence alongside Radhi Jaidi.
