Birmingham City welcome Bristol City to St Andrew's @ Knighthead Park for their first home Championship fixture of the season, with kick-off scheduled for 12:30pm BST. Blues enter the match unbeaten after a Carabao Cup victory at Swansea City and a goalless draw at Sheffield United in their league opener.
Visitors seek first points under new boss
Bristol City have lost both of their opening matches under new manager Michael Skubala and travel to B9 in search of their first points of the campaign. The Robins were the last visitors to St Andrew's in the Championship last season, when Blues secured a 2-1 win thanks to goals from Phil Neumann and Jhon Solis.
Birmingham City reporter Alex Dicken is at the ground to provide live updates, analysis, and opinion throughout the match.
Broadcast and early season form
Sky Sports has selected this fixture for coverage on Sky Sports+, and Blues' first eight games of the season will be televised in some form. Chris Davies' side are looking to build on a positive start after keeping successive away clean sheets at Swansea and Sheffield United.
Bristol City, by contrast, have endured a difficult opening under Skubala, suffering back-to-back defeats ahead of this trip to the West Midlands.
Matchday build-up at St Andrew's
Good morning from St Andrew's @ Knighthead Park, where this is expected to be the first of several early kick-offs this season. The 12:30pm start time is likely to become a recurring feature of Blues' Championship campaign, given the level of television interest in their matches.
Davies and his players will aim to extend their unbeaten run in front of the home supporters, while Bristol City will be desperate to stop the rot and register their first win under their new manager.
