Who will win? RadioTimes.com says…

It's been a tough few weeks for Barnsley. Despite beating Fulham on the opening day of the season, the loss to rivals Sheffield Wednesday dented those start-of-season dreams.

This is the sort of game they need to scrap out a point at if they are to survive in the Championship.

Then again, it's also a vital game for Birmingham as manager Pep Clotet sets his sights on promotion.

The Blues come into this match off the back of a trip to Nottingham Forest but should still have enough to take a narrow win.

Prediction: Birmingham 2-1 Barnsley
