\n
Birmingham will be out for revenge when they travel to the King Power Stadium to face fellow Championship side Leicester in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Saturday.<\/p>\n
The Blues were beaten 3-2 at home by the Foxes, but that game was under the stewardship of former boss Wayne Rooney.<\/p>\n
Since his departure Birmingham are unbeaten in four games and they will fancy their chances of taking the game to a Foxes side who are winless in two.<\/p>\n
Team News<\/h2>\n
Leicester boss Enzo Maresca will be unable to call upon the services of Cesare Casadei, who has been recalled by parent club Chelsea.<\/p>\n
Maresca will also be unable to select Harry Souttar or Kelechi Iheanacho, who are both away on international duty.<\/p>\n
Patson Daka has recently represented Zambia at the Africa Cup of Nations and Saturday\u2019s game is likely to come too soon for him, while suspension and an injury keep Abdul Fatawu and Wilfred Ndidi on the sidelines.<\/p>\n
Birmingham\u2019s recent new signing, Andre Dozzell, cannot play after his loan move from Queens Park Rangers as he is cup-tied, but Marc Roberts and Ethan Laird are hoping to make the squad after recovering from injuries.<\/p>\n
Sadly for manager Tony Mowbray, George Hall, Alfie Chang and Lukas Jutkiewicz are all still in the treatment room.<\/p>\n
Leicester are unbeaten in six matches in all competitions at the King Power Stadium, with Leeds the only team to beat them at home since the start of October.<\/p>\n
The Foxes have only lost twice at home all season, and they have scored in six consecutive matches in front of their supporters.<\/p>\n
However, they have started to show some signs of vulnerability, conceding four goals in as many matches at home.<\/p>\n
In their last four games, Leicester have shipped five goals, and that will give Birmingham a lift as they try to extend their unbeaten run to five matches.<\/p>\n
The Blues have only lost one of their previous five on the road in all competitions.<\/p>\n
Prediction<\/h2>\n
Saturday\u2019s contest gives both teams the chance to forget about the pressure that the Championship brings and, if the previous meeting is anything to go by, this match could be one for the neutral in the fourth round of the FA Cup.<\/p>\n
Leicester\u2019s squad is depleted in some areas, and they have shown signs of regression of late.<\/p>\n
Mowbray has made Birmingham harder to beat and these two could cancel each other out in a high-scoring affair.<\/p>\n
