Exeter City head to St Andrews for the first time since 1999 to face Birmingham City in a 3pm kick-off.
City know they are in for a very tough test against the league leaders who are unbeaten at home so far this season. The Blues have a two point lead with two games in hand as they look to return to the Championship at the first attempt.
City will go into the match with confidence high after Saturday's fantastic 3-1 win over Championship side Oxford United in the Emirates FA Cup.
Gary Caldwell's Thoughts
