It is the last day of the season and Birmingham must perform a miracle escape in order to avoid relegation from the Championship.

At the moment, they are 22nd in the league, one point adrift of Plymouth in 21st and three points adrift of Blackburn and Sheffield Wednesday, respectively.

Birmingham need all three points against a Norwich side who have already confirmed their spot in the playoffs.

Current Form

Birmingham current form

Birmingham have had two glorious opportunities to claim wins recently yet faltered to draws against Huddersfield and Rotherham, both of whom have already been relegated.

They have one final chance to secure that elusive win, though they have scored just five goals in five games.

Norwich current form

At the business end of the season, Norwich have routinely picked up points as they are undefeated in five games and in that run have wins to their name versus Ipswich and Preston.

Lukas Jutkiewicz has struggled with a knee injury for the majority of the campaign but has made himself available in the final games.

Tyler Roberts was an unused substitute against Huddersfield due to an ankle issue but he may have to be risked in the final game of the campaign. Oliver Burke remains out and he won't play for the club against before returning to parent club Werder Bremen.

Ashley Barnes is out for Norwich, but there are hopes that Dimitrios Giannoulis could feature after recovering from a hamstring problem.

Scoreline Prediction

With so much on the line for Birmingham and nothing for Norwich, with the latter preparing themselves for the playoffs, the home side might just sneak this one.
