Birmingham City, Recent FormBirmingham City had to settle for a share of the spoils in their last match, which ran out a 1-1 draw against Huddersfield Town. In that game they had 46% possession and managed 12 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to Huddersfield Town who had 12 attempts and 4 on target.
It's fair to say that manager Gary Rowett will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 6 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 4 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. Of their last 6 games played at home, they've have been unable to score in 3 games and only kept 2 clean sheets.
They're experiencing a very poor spell of form at St. Andrew's Stadium, having lost 4 of their last 6 home games.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Birmingham City, Jay Stansfield will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Norwich City, Recent FormNorwich City manager David Wagner will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 2-2 draw in his team's last league outing against Swansea City. They came away from that fixture with a 41% share of the possession and clocked up 27 attempts on goal with 7 on target, in comparison to Swansea City, who managed 13 attempts on goal, 6 of which were on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 8 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 8 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 16 games in a row.
Norwich will take some comfort from having only lost 1 of their last 6 games, but having managed just 2 wins shows there's room for improvement.
Away from home in the league, Gabriel Sara has given the Norwich City travelling fans plenty to get excited about, with 3 goals from their last 6 games on the road.
The last meeting between these 2 teams in the league resulted in an unsurprising 2-0 win for Norwich City.
The Canaries will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against Birmingham having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 10 meetings. Goals come easy for Norwich when they travel to The Blues, having recorded 7 goals in their past 3 visits and an impressive average of 2.33 goals per match.
Norwich will be looking to continue their winning streak against Birmingham, having won each of the last 6 times they have met in the league and being unbeaten in their last 10 meetings.
With only Alfie Chang (Cruciate ligament) and Lukas Jutkiewicz (Knee) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Gary Rowett will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
David Wagner has a number of injury concerns in his Norwich squad to contend with: Dimitrios Giannoulis (Hamstring), Liam Gibbs (Muscle) and Onel Hernández (Broken foot)
