The upcoming fixture between Leicester and Birmingham promises to be an engaging contest at King Power Stadium.

Leicester’s attacking unit, led by Daka and Otieno Thomas, has been effective, scoring an average of 1.3 goals per game. Birmingham, with a similar goal-scoring rate, relies on their midfield to create chances.
