"Starting with the hosts, while Birmingham might have only made their Championship return this season, the Blues are relishing like back among England's second-tier. Last seen securing a deserved 2-0 victory away at Oxford United, Chris Davies' men find the mood in their camp and they have rightfully received plenty of plaudits. Including another 2-0 victory against Sheffield Wednesday on January 20th, they are unbeaten in their previous six appearances across all competitions (four wins, two draws)."
"As for the visitors, hit with a six-point deduction earlier in the week, Leicester find themselves at the heart of what has become an infamous Championship nightmare. Suddenly with just their goal difference keeping them outside the relegation zone, interim boss Andy King has an almighty job on his hands at the King Power. Facing a major battle to avoid consecutive relegations, the Foxes should be bracing themselves for a stern examination this weekend."
Birmingham have rediscovered form since returning to the Championship, unbeaten in six matches across all competitions with four wins and two draws. Recent 2-0 victories against Sheffield Wednesday and Oxford United underline growing confidence and momentum. The Blues have suffered only one Championship defeat at St. Andrew's this season and can move within touching distance of the play-off places with another positive result. Leicester were hit with a six-point deduction and now sit perilously close to the relegation zone on goal difference. Interim boss Andy King faces a major task after four Championship games yielding only one point, including defeats by Charlton and Oxford, raising the prospect of consecutive relegations.
