Following three wins on the spin, Norwich are sitting comfortably at the top of the Championship table and with less than a third of the campaign remaining, the Canaries look good value to achieve automatic promotion.
Birmingham are hovering dangerously close to the relegation zone and will need to start picking up points at home if they are to survive the drop.

Birmingham City vs Norwich: Match preview
Championship strugglers Birmingham City host league leaders Norwich at St. Andrew’s on Tuesday night.
Norwich made it three wins on the bounce on Saturday with a narrow 1-0 home victory over Rotherham on Saturday. Teemu Pukki scored the only goal of the match in the first half.
The Canaries are seven points above second-placed Brentford as things stand.
Norwich have the best away record in the division, winning nine of their 15 matches on the road. Norwich beat Coventry City 2-0 in their last away outing, having failed to win the previous three away matches.
Birmingham City ended a six-match winless run on Saturday, beating Sheffield Wednesday 1-0 at Hillsborough. Wednesday played much of the second half with 10 men, and the visitors capitalised on their numerical advantage. Scott Hogan scored the only goal of the game just after the hour-mark.
The Blues are currently one place and two points above the bottom three, however, they have played more games than all the sides below them so the picture could look quite different in a few week’s time. Even a win on Tuesday night is unlikely to move Birmingham up the table.
Birmingham have the worst home record in the Championship, winning just 9 points from 15 matches at St. Andrew’s. City have also scored the joint-fewest number of home goals (nine) and conceded the most (24).
The Blues have failed to win any of their last 11 matches at home, and have lost seven of their last eight.
Norwich won the reverse fixture 1-0 at Carrow Road in October 2020. Mario Vrancic netted the winner late on for Norwich. Adam Clayton was sent off late in the game.
Norwich are unbeaten in their last six against Birmingham and have only lost to them once since 2005.
Birmingham City team news vs Norwich
Birmingham City manager Aitor Karanka has a fully fit squad to choose from. The Spaniard could revert back to a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Mikel San Jose potentially dropping to the bench.
Ivan Sanchez and Jeremie Bela could be handed recalls.
Norwich team news vs Birmingham City
Lukas Rupp will compete with Kenny McLean for a spot in midfield.
Jordan Hugill comes back into contention for Norwich following injury, although Sam Byram, Michael McGovern, and Marco Stiepermann are still sidelined.
