0' What a night it is going to be! Birmingham City FC welcome Norwich City FC for this crunch clash at St Andrew's Trillion Trophy Stadium.
5' Harlee Dean is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Norwich City FC tonight.
10' The energy levels are beginning to show. Karanka might look to freshen things up shortly.
15' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Daniel Farke will be considering his options from the bench.
