Last Saturday, Birmingham suffered a 2-0 defeat to Coventry City, who are vying for promotion and failed to impress their 5,000 fans who had travelled to support them. The Sky Blues took the lead within three minutes with a goal from Josh Eccles, and Viktor Gyokeres scored the second from a penalty after Jordan James was deemed to have handled the ball in the penalty area.

Birmingham has lost three of their last four games, causing their season to lose steam. However, fans of the team are grateful that they are not struggling to avoid relegation, which is a situation that the team is used to. The team is currently in 17th place in the Championship standings, but a win in the final game of the season could move them up to as high as 15th.

Although Birmingham has not been able to secure a top-half finish, their ability to avoid a relegation battle has been a positive surprise for everyone involved with the team.

Sheffield United Form

On Thursday night, Sheffield United lost their first match in five games to Huddersfield Town, who were managed by Neil Warnock, courtesy of a 59th-minute goal from Danny Ward. The Blades secured promotion to the Premier League for the second time with a 2-0 home win against West Bromwich Albion. This season, forward duo Iliman Ndiaye and Oli McBurnie have been crucial in United's automatic promotion, scoring 26 goals in the Championship between them. Despite this, seven of the 11 losses for the Blades have been away from Bramall Lane. As a result, Birmingham fans will be hopeful of a surprise victory to end the season. With a win at St Andrew's, Sheffield United can break the 90-point barrier and are expected to put on a good performance for their loyal following in the Second City.

Foderingham; Egan, Basham, Robinson; Baldock, Berge, Norwood, Lowe; McAtee, Ndiaye, Jebbison
