Birmingham City will look to make three in a row when they travel to King Power Stadium to face Leicester City for an EFL Championship clash on Friday.
After going down 1-2 against Preston North End in their second outing, the Foxes bounced back to register an impressive 1-0 victory against Charlton Athletic last time out. Abdul Fatawu's 48th-minute goal after the half-break became the only match-winning goal from their side, giving the hosts a crucial three points. Marti Cifuentes' side is currently placed 7th on the Championship leaderboard with six points.
Meanwhile, Birmingham City have started to assert their dominance this new season with two back-to-back victories after a draw in their season opener. The Blues are unbeaten in their first three games so far; their latest 1-0 victory over Oxford United must have boosted their morale. The visitors hold the fifth spot on the leaderboard with seven points.
