What channel is Birmingham City vs West Brom on? Kick-off time, how to follow and team news

Two wins and two draws from their past four fixtures has given Albion fans a glimmer of hope of being in and around the play-offs come the end of the season, as the final weeks of the league campaign begin.

Steve Bruce will have a realistic outlook on the play-off opportunities, knowing they would have to win most of their remaining eight fixtures.

The start of that final eight run-in is a short trip to St. Andrew's, to face Lee Bowyer's struggling Birmingham City side.

A torrid run of form has seen the Blues slide down the table to 19th place, but are safe with a buffer of 14 points on the teams below them in the relegation places.

Birmingham City have won just once in their last seven games, so the Baggies will see this as an opportunity to get their run-in off victoriously.

West Brom have dominated in games against their local rivals in recent years, going eight games unbeaten in head-to-head fixtures, and the Blues have not actually beaten the Baggies since October 2006.

West Brom were victorious in the reverse fixture 1-0 thanks to Karlan Grant, who has been back amongst the goals after a long goal drought.
