Norwich City and Birmingham City will lock horns at Carrow Road in the EFL Championship on Tuesday (February 21). The Canaries are unbeaten in nine games against the visitors and will look to extend their dominance in the fixture.
Norwich failed to make it two wins from two, as they were held to a goalless draw by Wigan Athletic on Sunday (February 19). That followed a comfortable 3-1 win over Hull City on February 14, which snapped their two-game losing streak. With 46 points from 32 games, Norwich are ninth in the Championship, three points off the playoffs places.
Birmingham, meanwhile, continue to struggle in the Championship, as they fell to a 2-1 loss at Huddersfield last time out. They have now lost seven of their last nine games since December, scoring 11 goals and conceding 19.
With 38 points from 32 games, Birmingham are 18th in the league table but will move level on points with 15th-placed Bristol City with a win.

Norwich City vs Birmingham Team News
Norwich City suffered an injury blow against Wigan on Saturday, as American Josh Sargent was forced off with an ankle injury at half time – the striker is a major doubt for Tuesday’s meeting with Birmingham.
Leading scorer Pukki is also set to miss out for the Canaries as he continues to recover from a calf injury, an absence which means Adam Idah is likely to start up front once more.
Wagner has hinted at making plenty of changes to his XI after a sluggish performance at the DW Stadium last time out, with Marcelino Nunez and Christos Tzolis pushing for starts.
Birmingham have two fresh injury concerns after the trip to Huddersfield, with both Krystian Bielik and Troy Deeney being substituted with issues in the latter stages of the game on Saturday.
Norwich City vs Birmingham Lineups
Norwich City:
Gunn; Aarons, Gibson, Hanley, Giannoulis; Gibbs, Nunez, Sara, Hernandez, Tzolis; Idah

Norwich City vs Birmingham Odds

Norwich were disappointed after leaving Wigan with just a point on Saturday afternoon and will be desperate to get back to winning ways in order to keep the top six within touching distance.
Birmingham were hit with a loss as well as two damaging injuries at Huddersfield last time out, and it will be a tough ask to avoid a similar fate in terms of the result at Carrow Road on Tuesday night.
