Regardless of attending into this faceoff in a respectable midtable position, The Blues are in serious need of an outcome.

Will the visitors take the opportunity to increase the misery for the host, or Birmingham can turn the table for the comeback win this week? The host has been top for a struggling season ever since they get rid of Garry Monk. Birmingham took a risk in Pep Clotet, however, we could be perceiving the 1st signs that the risk has not paid off. They have three losses on the spin, Birmingham is really upset, particularly they were defeated to a struggling Derby squad and on the road at Wigan. They were very tough elite opponents overcoming the Blues, which opens a chance to give an opportunity for the visitors.
