Wayne Rooney will be hoping to mastermind back-to-back victories for the first time as Birmingham City manager when Championship leaders Leicester City visit St Andrew’s.

The Blues have plunged from the play-offs to the bottom half of the table since the England legend controversially replaced John Eustace in the dugout in October, but last Wednesday’s 1-0 win at Cardiff City hinted at signs of improvement.

Birmingham – just six points above the drop zone – could not ask for a tougher game, however, as Leicester are statistically the best team in Championship history at this stage of the season.

The Foxes’ thrilling 3-2 victory at home to struggling Millwall last Wednesday saw them move to a record-breaking total of 52 points from 21 games and return to the top of the table.

Patson Daka was on target against the Lions to make it two goals in two games, and he is likely to continue in attack even though Kelechi Iheanacho should return from illness.
