The EFL Championship returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Birmingham City and Blackburn Rovers lock horns at the St Andrew’s Trillion Trophy Stadium on Tuesday.

Both sides head into the game off the back of contrasting results at the weekend, with John Eustace’s men claiming a comfortable home victory over Stoke City.

Birmingham City were left empty handed yet again as they fell to a 2-0 defeat against Sheffield Wednesday at the Hillsborough Stadium on Friday.

Tony Mowbray’s side have now lost three games on the spin, including a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Leicester City in the FA Cup fourth round on January 27.

With 32 points from 30 matches, Birmingham are currently 19th in the Championship table, level on points with 20th-placed Stoke City and just three points above the dotted line.

Elsewhere, Blackburn Rovers pulled clear of the relegation zone as they cruised to a 3-1 victory over Stoke City at Ewood Park on Saturday.

Prior to that, Eustace’s men were on an eight-game winless run in the league, losing six and picking up two draws since mid-December.

With 36 points from 30 matches, Blackburn are currently 17th in the league standings, level on points with Swansea City and Plymouth Argyle.
