BirminghamLive brings you the live coverage of Birmingham City's Championship clash with Stoke City

Birmingham City host Stoke City at St Andrew's this afternoon in search of another home victory after wins over Rotherham and Blackburn Rovers in recent weeks.

John Eustace's side have seemingly escaped the threat of relegation by winning back-to-back home games, and will be aiming to extend their unbeaten run to four games against Stoke today.

Opponents Stoke travel to Birmingham having only lost once in their last four league games, and will be leapfrogged by Blues this afternoon if they lose the match.

The teams were pretty evenly-matched in November's fixture at the bet365 Stadium, which Blues edged 2-1. Both clubs had been struggling for form throughout the season, but have found some crucial points in recent weeks to steer clear of a relegation battle last in the season.

Kick-off is at 3pm, with team news arriving at 2pm, so stay tuned throughout the afternoon.
