Norwich City and Birmingham City will lock horns at Carrow Road in the EFL Championship on Tuesday (February 21).
The Canaries are unbeaten in nine games against the visitors and will look to extend their dominance in the fixture.

That followed a comfortable 3-1 win over Hull City on February 14, which snapped their two-game losing streak. With 46 points from 32 games, Norwich are ninth in the Championship, three points off the playoffs places.
Birmingham, meanwhile, continue to struggle in the Championship, as they fell to a 2-1 loss at Huddersfield last time out. They have now lost seven of their last nine games since December, scoring 11 goals and conceding 19.
With 38 points from 32 games, Birmingham are 18th in the league table but will move level on points with 15th-placed Bristol City with a win.
