Birmingham City will host Sheffield Wednesday at St. Andrew's @ Knighthead Park on Tuesday in another round of the 2025-26 EFL Championship campaign. The home side enjoyed a very strong start to their season but seem to have run out of steam early in the campaign as they sit 11th in the table with 10 points.
They were beaten 3-0 by promotion hopefuls Coventry City in their game on Saturday, falling behind in the opening 20 minutes of the contest before a red card to Jack Robinson later in the half all but scuppered their chances of a positive result on the road.
Sheffield Wednesday, meanwhile, have endured a turbulent season on and off the pitch but remain hopeful of avoiding the drop. They picked up a useful point in their 1-1 draw with Queens Park Rangers last time out, heading into the break with the advantage thanks to a Dominic Iorfa header before their opponents leveled the scores from the spot early after the restart.
Trending
The visitors sit 23rd in the table with just five points from seven matches, but could exit the drop zone with maximum points in Birmingham this week.
