Birmingham host Sheffield United in this Carabao Cup First Round fixture on Wednesday at St. Andrew's Stadium. Can the Blues edge out the Blades for a place in the next round of the competition? Follow our prediction for the match below.
Birmingham began their campaign this season drawing 1-1 against Ipswich Town in Championship matchday one cracker at the weekend. The League One champions nearly came away with a win before George Hirsts' last-gasp equalizer saved a point for Ipswich.
Despite the stalemate, Chris Davies' side proved their mettle and readiness to compete favorably with the big teams in the higher division. They will aim to put up another solid performance as they host another Championship heavyweight Sheffield United in the Carabao Cup first round on Wednesday.
Last season's Championship playoff finalist, Sheffield United, will enter this match on the back of a disappointing result at the weekend. They suffered a shock 4-1 home defeat to Bristol City in their 2025-26 Championship opening-day fixture. Ruben Sellés' side will hope to make up for that poor showing by edging out Birmingham to secure their spot in the Carabao Cup second round.
They have won two of their last three encounters with the Birmingham-based side, including their last two visits to St. Andrew's Stadium. However, another stern challenge awaits the Sheffield club in Birmingham on Wednesday.
