Birmingham City players to watch

The next three players are considered key for Birmingham City and it is likely that any of them can score in the match against West Brom. Player Jay Stansfield (#28) is the team's creative, his ability to control the ball and generate plays has been of great value to his team. He is the team's leading scorer and we could see him score on Saturday. Defender Cody Drameh (#12) is another extremely important on-pitch distributor and is the team's biggest assister in the EFL Championship. At his young age he has achieved a lot and he is an important piece of the team. Finally, 37-year-old goalkeeper John Ruddy (#21) is one of the best goalkeepers in the EFL Championship, his height allows him to be a saver of any ball and is very important for his team not to concede a goal on Saturday.

Birmingham City in the tournament

Birmingham City is doing poorly in the EFL Championship season, it is at the bottom of the tournament. Until week 26 of the tournament they have a total of 32 points with 8 games won, 8 draws and 12 lost. They are located in twentieth position in the general table and if they want to maintain that position they will have to win the match. Saturday's game will be very difficult since West Bromwich Albion is a good team and they arrive motivated. Their last game was on January 20, 2024, they won 2-1 against Stoke City at the bet365 Stadium and thus achieved another victory in the tournament. They arrive as the least favorites to win this match, however they could surprise and win.
