Overview
- Birmingham City will host Wolverhampton Wanderers at St Andrew's on Sunday, September 6, with kick-off at 12:00 BST and live coverage on Sky Sports Football plus streaming via Sky Go and NOW.
- Wolves come in as the market favourites after a high-scoring start to the season but conceded four in a 4-2 loss to West Ham on Tuesday, highlighting defensive vulnerability.
- Birmingham are unbeaten in the league but have drawn three of their first four matches and remain without a home win this season.
- Pre-match team news names Birmingham absences including Lee Buchanan, Max Bird and Marc Leonard while Wolves are missing Kieran Trippier, Rafiki Said and Jean‑Ricner Bellegarde with Santiago Bueno and Ladislav Krejci pushing for starts.
- Bookmakers and preview writers broadly back a Wolves victory and expect goals, with many outlets publishing bet-builder tips that favour both teams to score and specific scorer bets.
