Blues are yet to have the pleasure of the Wirral-based official refereeing any of their games this season.
The last time Mike Dean took charge of a Blues match was in our 2-0 Premier League away defeat against Wigan Athletic on 5th April this year. Damien Johnson was sent off in the game at the JJB Stadium on that occasion whilst David Murphy and Radhi Jaidi both picked up yellow cards.
In total Mike Dean has taken charge of 18 games this season in which he has handed out a somewhat massive 69 yellow cards and 7 red cards.
J.Stokes and Richard West will be Mike Dean's assistant's for the live television match at St Andrews on Saturday lunchtime.
