Events

Match Events

0' Three points are at stake. Birmingham City FC host Stoke City FC — let the battle begin!
5' Jordan James is a natural midfielder and has been asked to do a very specific job for Stoke City FC tonight.
10' Birmingham City FC are deployed in a 4-1-4-1 today, looking to exploit space against Stoke City FC's 4-2-3-1 shape.
12' Jordan Thompson adds to his 0 season tally! Stoke City FC lead 0-1 — and this changes everything.
12' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Koji Miyoshi on 12 minutes.
17' With 0 assists to his name this season, Juninho Bacuna is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Stoke City FC.

39' It is a cagey affair so far. Birmingham City FC in their 4-1-4-1 trying to find a way past Stoke City FC's compact 4-2-3-1.
44' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Ryan Mmaee suffering a number of foals already.
