Overview

• Kick-off is 8pm BST at the King Power Stadium with live coverage on Sky Sports Football and Main Event, plus radio on talkSPORT 2.
• Birmingham arrive with seven points from three games and no league defeats, while Leicester have six points from two wins in three.
• Leicester are without Victor Kristiansen, Harry Souttar and Bobby De Cordova-Reid, with Stephy Mavididi fit and Bilal El Khannouss available after recent uncertainty.
• Birmingham’s Jay Stansfield is a fitness doubt after a midweek EFL Cup knock in a 1-0 loss to Port Vale, though he remains a key scoring threat highlighted by tipsters.
• Betting markets are split with tight prices on all outcomes, previews often forecasting a narrow margin and flagging Oliver Skipp as a strong booking candidate.
