Birmingham City host Luton Town at St. Andrew's Stadium on Saturday in the EFL Championship.

The Blues haven't won since beating Barnsley towards the end of January, drawing and losing twice each in their next four games.

This has seen them drop to 18th in the league table with 33 points from 31 games. The threat of relegation is becoming real for them as many sides below them have a few games in hand.

Luton, meanwhile, are doing relatively well to sit eighth, with 45 points from 29 games, and have won three of their last four league games.

They endured an embarrassing 5-0 loss to Birmingham in the August reverse and will be looking to avenge the same here.


Birmingham City vs Luton Town Head-To-Head

There have been 64 clashes between the sides before, with Birmingham winning 31 times and losing in only 13 games.

Luton beat them 1-0 in this fixture last season but the Blues avenged the same with a stunning 5-0 shellacking in August last year.
