Blues played out a 0-0 draw on the road against Sheffield United last weekend but Chris Davies's side were the better of the two teams at Bramall Lane.

Birmingham City ended up 10th in the Championship last time out and they'll be hoping to be in the play-off mix this season, especially now it's been expanded from four to six teams.

Bristol City, meanwhile, lost 2-0 at home against Millwall last Saturday. Adam Randell was sent off for the Robins after just 36 minutes with Millwall netting either side of halftime to take all three points.

Michael Skubala's men, who have lost both of their outings this season after being knocked out of the Carabao Cup in the first round, are hoping to build on their 12th-placed finish last campaign.

Radio Times has rounded up everything you need to know about how to watch Birmingham City v Bristol City on TV and online.
