Breaking news: Birmingham City vs Leicester City Preview Probable Lineups, Prediction, Tactics, Team News & Key Stats…..

Leicester City will have a glorious chance to pull away at the top of the EFL Championship standings when they visit St.

Andrews to take on Birmingham City on Monday night.

Enzo Maresca’s side are currently top on goal difference but have played a game less than second placed Ipswich Town and third-placed Leeds United.

With the latter two drawing their respective games, the Foxes now have the opportunity to open up a three point gap at the summit.

Birmingham City, on the other hand, might be closer to the relegation zone than the top six, but a trip to St Andrews is never easy.

In fact, only Leeds United have lost fewer home games in the second tier of English football this season than Birmingham.

Leicester might be top but have had to struggle in certain games this season. While they do have the better squad on paper, Maresca and Co.

will need to be on their toes. Should they falter, the Blues will get their first win over the Foxes in the league since 2011.

Wayne Rooney secured just his second win as the Birmingham City boss against Cardiff City last time around.

The Manchester United legend will now hope to push on and put together a string of positive results.

The Blues will face few tougher challenges than the Foxes this season, and this Monday’s result should give us an idea of where both the sides might end up come the end of the season standings.

The Hard Tackle takes a look at how these two sides will line up and what tactics they might employ.
