Kick-off: 7.45pm UK Time, Tuesday 16th January 2024
Birmingham City and Hull City shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw in the original FA Cup third round tie at the MKM Stadium earlier this month and both have a chance to make it through to the fourth round of the tournament when they once again lock horns at St Andrews tonight.
Tony Mowbray got his reign at St Andrews underway with a 2-2 draw with Swansea City on Saturday afternoon, the Blues twice coming from a goal behind to force a share of the spoils and claim a much-needed point. The West Midlands outfit are languishing down in 20th position in the Championship table with just 7 wins from their 27 league outings and the main focus of their new manager will be to secure Championship football for next season.
Fabio Carvalho was unable to prevent Hull City from suffering a fourth defeat in five league outings when they lost 2-1 at home to Norwich City on Friday evening. The Tigers have now slipped to 9th position in the Championship table after 27 rounds of fixtures although they are bidding to make an assault on the top six after welcoming Sheffield United’s Billy Sharp and Liverpool loanee Carvalho to East Yorkshire.
Hull are dominating for lengthy periods in their outings but they haven’t been successful in grinding out positive results, however against a Birmingham City outfit which have looked defensively weak of late, the visitors should prove more than capable of edging their way to victory at the second attempt tonight.
