Prediction: 3-0
Northampton
After surviving Sutton in their FA Cup opener, Birmingham City will be aiming to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they face Northampton Town on Saturday afternoon. The Blues are on a five-game winning run at home in all competitions and they are seen as hot favourites to beat the Cobblers. Chris Davies mixed the squad against Sutton, but the 39-year-old tactician is going to field the best possible side against Northampton.
The visitors, on the other hand, have been having their ups and downs of late, beating Crawley, losing to Lincoln, while sharing the spoils with Stockport County. As Birmingham City have turned their St. Andrew’s Stadium into a real fortress, we predict that Northampton Town are going to return home with their hands empty. The good news for the away team is that Wales forward Tyler Roberts is back from suspension.
