Daniel Farke's side kicked off a tough run of fixtures last weekend with an excellent draw at West Bromwich Albion, thanks to Jordan Rhodes' late equaliser.

Following their 2-2 draw at home to Norwich on the opening weekend of the season, Birmingham have proven one of the Championship's surprise packages – but they also had a tricky weekend of it last time out, losing at home to promotion-pushers Middlesbrough.

The Blues are now winless in four games, and sit eighth in the table.

Following Friday night's Championship clash, Farke's Canaries are back at Carrow Road next Saturday with automatic promotion chasers Sheffield United in town under boss Chris Wilder (3pm).

A crunch trip to Marcelo Bielsa's Championship leaders Leeds United then takes place at Elland Road seven days later (5.30pm).

Each and every Norwich City first-team game, our reporters will be on the scene. If you see them – especially with their cameras – say hello.
