EFL Championship leaders Leicester City cross swords with a struggling Birmingham City side at the St. Andrews' Stadium.
Birmingham City ended their run of three winless games with a 1-0 victory against Cardiff City but with 26 points from 21 games, the English side are struggling in the bottom half of the table. The second-tier outfit will have to produce some wins if they have to rise up in the table.
The Foxes were relegated from the Premier League after a shambolic campaign but they have been a class apart in the 2023/24 EFL Championship campaign. With 17 wins and just three losses this season, Leicester City are tied on points with Ipswich Town and could take a three point lead over them with a game in hand over their rivals.
Here GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch, including TV channel, streaming details and more.
