Stoke City
Tuesday’s football game at St. Andrew’s Stadium pits together Birmingham City and Stoke City, the two teams who face each other in the Championship round 24. The Blues have been involved in some high-scoring games of late, with the team suffering a 3-2 loss to Leicester City, while playing out a thrilling 3-3 draw with Plymouth and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. Lee Buchanan suffered an injury in the last league fixture, with Mbule Longelo Emmanuel likely to step up, while Krystian Bielik serves a one-game ban.
The Potters, on the other hand, have drawn each of their last three league fixtures. Stoke City failed to win the previous four away games and, taking everything into account, the share of spoils is on the cards in the Boxing Day showdown. Ben Pearson is back from suspension, while all Frank Fielding, Enda Stevens, Ben Wilmot, and Emre Tezgel miss out with injuries.
