Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Championship game versus Watford in only four days. This game is also played here at St. Andrew's Stadium.

There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Championship trip to Wycombe Wanderers.
