There was a lot to cover in today's two newsletters and I have sent subscribers 8,600 words including stats, a look at 11 games across four leagues (Premier League, Championship, Ligue 2 and Bundesliga) and some other stuff, like an explanation of what "playing through the thirds" means.

This game is being at St Andrews which is Birmingham's home ground, but it is like a second home to the Sky Blues as this is their second full season at the stadium. I assume that Birmingham will have to use the away changing room which will doubtless feel weird, but that aside, this is not really a road game for the Blues.
