Vardy for Daka. Let's build on today!

 

[homer]

I firmly predict that we will ****ing smash this lot.

Good chance to restore that goal difference

 

[popillius]

Vardy for Daka. Let's build on today!

Anyone for Daka. Literally, anyone. Ward will do.

 

[big_mac4824]

hight tempo and put this lot to the sword, 4 or 5 goals and send a message that we are not to be messed with.

Vardy for Daka. Let's build on today!

I quite like Vardy as a sub ATM.

I'd be tempted to start Nacho and then bring Vardy on after 60 mins.

Nacho needs a few games to get going so it could be a bad choice is canon injured at the moment?
start with Vardy and rotate at 70 mins, if we have the same amount of crosses as we did today Vardy will bag a brace.

Cannon was injured for the Bristol and Norwich games. Same with Nelson.

Saturday is our chance to go top or at least back in the top 2 with Leeds away at Coventry & Ipswich away at Norwich.
Based on this performance we should beat Birmingham 4 - 0 or more.

Hmmm, no changes for me to starting line up.

Don’t underestimate that Birmingham are fighting for their lives.

We also should’ve smashed Sheffield Wednesday, but we didn’t.

We did win comfortably against Sheffield W though. Maybe you were thinking of QPR?

I was thinking of the 1-1 draw.

 

[lazzer]

Our last 3.00pm Home match of the season.

 

[fox58]

Our last 3.00pm Home match of the season.

And only one away game at 3:00pm

And only one away game at 3:00pm

That could still be moved. TV games for that weekend are due to be announced this week.

Will almost certainly be moved.

They will want to televise us and the other two for sure

Leicester have won their last three league games against Birmingham and are unbeaten in six such matches (W4 D2) since a 2-0 defeat in October 2011.

---

This is Birmingham City’s first league visit to Leicester City since August 2013, losing 3-2 under Lee Clark.

---

Leicester’s 3-1 win over Norwich last time out was their 27th league victory of the season, only registering more in a single campaign in the Football League in 2013-14 (31).

---

Birmingham beat Preston 1-0 at home last time out and could record successive league wins for the first time since February. Indeed, only Rotherham (83%) have earned a higher share of their points at home in the Championship this season than the Blues (71% - 30/42).

---

Leicester have scored 10 goals from high turnovers in the Championship this season – the most of any side - while only Blackburn (363) have faced more high turnovers in the competition in 2023-24 than Birmingham (362).
