Birmingham host Aston Villa in a big Championship derby clash as both sides harbour hopes of the play-off spots
Birmingham can narrow the gap on the play-offs spots when they take on rivals Aston Villa at St Andrew’s on Sunday.
The Blues sit eighth in the table just four points off the top six and will hope to make a late surge as the season enters the final stretch.
Garry Monk’s men have been in patchy form lately with a mixed bag of results, the most recent being a 2-0 defeat at Hull.
In another wild Championship season, Aston Villa could also find themselves mounting an unlikely charge for the play-offs in the coming games.
They destroyed contenders Derby 4-0 in their last game and despite sitting in 11th, they’re just six points away from Bristol City in sixth.
Conor Hourihane netted twice in last week’s rout at Villa Park but it was Jack Grealish’s thunderous volley that stole the headlines.
He will be hoping for another big moment of magic to get one over Villa’s local rivals.
