Stoke City v Birmingham City: Latest team news, Is there a live stream? What time is kick-off?

Stoke City will be looking to inflict further pressure back on the play-off positions when they host Birmingham City tomorrow afternoon. 

The Potters find themselves six points shy of the much-desired top-six zone and are unbeaten in their last three league games. 

Despite the Bet 365 Stadium emerging as somewhat of a fortress during the early stages of the season, Stoke have lost four of their last five at their Staffordshire home. 

Birmingham will be hoping to take great confidence from their convincing 3-0 victory over Luton Town last weekend. 

The Blues are without an away win since the end of October and will be striving to break that unwanted record when they make the relatively short trip up the M6. 

Despite their poor recent record on the road, Birmingham possess a strong away record against teams chasing a play-off spot, losing just one game in seven on the road versus teams from 5th to 12th.
