Two Championship sides will square off in a feisty FA Cup clash as Hull City face Birmingham City at MKM Stadium.
Hull City are currently seventh in the EFL Championship but have managed just one win in their previous four games with three disastrous losses. Sheffield Wednesday thrashed Hull 3-1 in their previous outing and the Tigers would be looking to revamp their form against Birmingham.
Birmingham City are hovering in the bottom half of the table with three defeats and two draws in their previous five outings. They were beaten 3-0 by Leeds United last time out and have a daunting task lying ahead of them.
