Prediction

  • Birmingham claimed just their second win under Wayne Rooney in midweek as Juninho Bacuna's first-half goal proved enough to earn all three points against Cardiff.
  • That result means that the home side sit six points clear of the relegation zone heading into gameweek 22, although one win from their last four at home is a cause for concern.
  • Leicester survived an early scare to claim all three points against Millwall on Wednesday night as goals from Patson Daka, Jannik Vestergaard and Ricardo Pereira secured their latest victory.
  • The Foxes are now 11 points clear of third-placed Leeds after winning three league games on the spin.
