Birmingham away is not an easy task, but could be one with a chance to get all points. Leicester do have four new players. We do not believe Andy King will start them all, but hopefully not leaving them all on the bench.
Leicester do have a number of injuries, so to pick a team will be difficult. We are hopefull that Andy King will make the best out of this, but his start against Charlton must have been a nightmare.
Birmingham has in their last three games picked up seven points. Leicester managed to win at home, but the game was an even affair. Leicester are now in desperate need of points, finding themselves too close to the relegation zone.
This will be an exciting game to watch as it is a lot on the table for Leicester. We certainly hope it will be a Leicester team with class and fighting spirit.

Wikipedia: Birmingham City Football Club is a professional football club based in Birmingham, England. Formed in 1875 as Small Heath Alliance, it was renamed Small Heath in 1888, Birmingham in 1905, and Birmingham City in 1943.[6] The club competes in the Championship, the second tier of English football.
As Small Heath, they played in the Football Alliance before becoming founder members and first champions of the Football League Second Division. The most successful period in their history was in the 1950s and early 1960s. They achieved their highest finishing position of sixth in the First Division in the 1955–56 season and reached the 1956 FA Cup final. Birmingham played in two Inter-Cities Fairs Cup finals, in 1960, as the first English club side to reach a major European final, and again the following year. They won the League Cup in 1963 and again in 2011. Birmingham have played in the top tier of English football for around half of their history:[7] the longest period spent outside the top division, between 1986 and 2002, included two brief spells in the third tier of English football, during which time they won the Football League Trophy twice.
St Andrew’s, currently known as St. Andrew’s @ Knighthead Park since 2024 for sponsorship reasons, has been their home ground since 1906. They have a long-standing and fierce rivalry with Aston Villa, their nearest neighbours, with whom they play the Second City derby. The club’s nickname is Blues, after the colour of their kit, and the fans are known as Bluenoses., read more
Honours: Birmingham City FC’s primary honours include winning the League Cup twice (1963, 2011) and being runners-up in the FA Cup twice (1931, 1956). The club has also won the Football League Second Division four times and the Football League Trophy twice (1991, 1995). They were also the first English side to reach a European final (1960).
Did You Know? Sir Alf Ramsey; simply hearing the name conjures up images of 1966 and England’s historic World Cup triumph over West Germany, but did you ever wonder what Sir Alf did after he was sacked by the FA in 1974? Well, after a period of rest he reappeared after being appointed to the Birmingham City board in 1976. A year later he would find himself in the Blues’ dugout after agreeing to manage the team on a caretaker basis after the sacking of Willie Bell. He initially refused to take the job on full time, but changed his mind in November 1977.
Ramsey would only be in charge for four months, a tenure that would consist of 26 matches, winning 10, drawing four and losing 12. Ultimately his downfall would come about largely through the inconsistent form of the team and a less than amicable relationship with star striker Trevor Francis. The final straw would come after the team suffered a 4-0 defeat to Coventry City. Sir Alf’s time at Blues was brief but he did manage to record a stunning 3-2 victory at Anfield, the then home of the League and European Champions Liverpool. It’s victory that is still fondly remembered by a certain generation of Blues fans.
