It’s a huge Second City derby on Sunday with both sides fancying their chances of reaching the play-offs.
With all the talk of Leeds’ revolution under Marcelo Bielsa, Norwich’s rise under Daniel Farke and West Brom’s attempt to bounce back into the Premier League, Birmingham’s efforts with Garry Monk at the helm have gone a little under the radar.
We were unsure what to expect of the Blues this season with many expecting them to be battling at the other end of the table due to a cloud of uncertainty surrounding the club.
There is, of course, talk of a potential points deduction due to Financial Fair Play breaches but Monk is ensuring his side remain fully focused on matters on the pitch.
Despite their current league position, Birmingham’s home form could have been better and that is a slight negative on what has been a largely positive season.
