There are a vital three points up for grabs when Birmingham host Coventry in the Championship on Saturday.

Birmingham are currently second-bottom of the league, but with four matches remaining, they could still leap out of the relegation zone for survival as there are just five points between them in 23rd and QPR in 16th.

Coventry, meanwhile, are still in with a chance of making the playoffs and have a huge FA Cup semi-final against Manchester United on the horizon next weekend.
