Match preview

Chris Davies' Birmingham is in good form, looking to extend an eight-game undefeated run across all competitions. A seven-game unbeaten sequence in the Championship has them just a point below Wrexham, who occupy the final playoff place. They survived a late scare to beat League Two side Cambridge 3-2 away from home to book their place here.

Daniel Farke's Leeds are in similarly good shape with five wins, seven draws and only two defeats in their last 14 outings, a run which has made them feel much more comfortable in the race to stay in the Premier League. We could see rotation from their German manager, although their squad isn't the biggest. With six days between this and their next league match against Villa, they'll be taking it as seriously as possible.

Injury news, key stats

After recovering from a calf injury to make his first appearance of 2026 against West Brom, boyhood Birmingham fan Demarai Gray could start.

A number of notable long-term absentees remain for Blues, including Ethan Laird, Alex Cochrane, Lee Buchanan and now Paik Seung-ho.

For Leeds, Pascal Struijk is on the sidelines due to a hip problem, and leading striker Dom Calvert-Lewin missed their 2-2 draw at Chelsea and is doubtful here.

Since their 4-3 loss at St James' Park to Newcastle on January 7, Leeds have only lost once in six matches across all competitions.

How to watch on the Big Screen

Watching on your phone or laptop is fine, but live sports belongs on the big screen. Here is how to get the VPN working on your TV:

• Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android-based TVs and devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV have native VPN apps. Simply search for your VPN provider in the app store on your TV, log in, and connect just like you would on your phone.
• Apple TV, Roku & Consoles: These devices often don't support direct VPN apps. The easiest workaround is to use Smart DNS (usually found in your VPN account settings) or Mirror/Cast the stream from your VPN-connected phone or laptop to your TV.
