It was just a point apiece for Birmingham City and Swansea City in their last match, which ended in a 1-1 draw.  They achieved 41% possession in that match and had 11 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Swansea City's tally of 11 efforts at goal, 6 of which were on target.  

While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 4 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 8, and leading to valuable points being dropped.   They have been unable to score at home in 3 of their last 6 games, and they have also failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.  

They have been on a bad run over their last 6 league matches, with 4 defeats and only 1 victory, so they know full well that a change of form is needed if they want to begin moving up the league table.

Leeds United will have been quite satisfied taking a point from their last match against Cardiff City, which ran out a 2-2 draw.  In that game they recorded 72 % of the possession, with 25 attempts on goal, 6 on target. Their opponents found the target on 2 of their 7 shots on goal.  

Whilst they have scored a reasonable 8 goals in their last 6 games, they are struggling to pick up points due to their defence, who have shipped 17 goals in the same period.  Their goal scoring now stands at 14 games in a row, but they have failed to record a clean sheet in their last 15 games.  

They have not be performing well away from home with 5 straight defeats on the road.  

Sam Byram has scored 3 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Birmingham City.
