"Embarking on an extended flurry, Chris Davies' men have their sights firmly set on mounting a genuine play-off charge in 2026 and the open Tuesday's showdown sat just two points adrift of skyrocketing into the top-six. Last seen over the weekend clinching a 2-1 victory at home against Leicester, the mood around St. Andrew's is at a red-hot high and they will certainly be smelling another golden opportunity here."
"As for the visitors, while Eric Ramsay might have only arrived at the Hawthorns last month, the former Minnesota boss already finds the pressure on his shoulders at a boiling point. Getting his tenure underway with an action-packed 3-2 loss at home against Middlesbrough on January 16th, West Brom are remarkably at the heart of an infamous relegation scrap. Opening Tuesday's trip to their bitter local rivals holding just a one-point buffer over slipping into the drop zone,"
Birmingham City have enjoyed a strong return to the Championship, sitting two points outside the top six and targeting a play-off push in 2026. Chris Davies' side have won 10 points from their last four league matches, beat Leicester 2-1 at home and completed January with a 2-0 victory at Oxford. The Blues have suffered just one defeat in their last 10 matches across all competitions and remain unbeaten at home in the Championship since mid-October. West Brom, under new boss Eric Ramsay, have just two points from seven league games, sit one point above the relegation zone and have only one league win since December 12.
