Leicester&#8217;s recent dominance in this fixture has been built on clinical finishing\u2014scoring at least twice in three of the last four meetings\u2014and a willingness to attack from wide areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Birmingham, meanwhile, are unbeaten in the league this season, and their compact set-up has limited opponents to just two goals in three games. Expect them to look for quick transitions, using Gray and Ducksch to exploit spaces behind Leicester&#8217;s full-backs. Set-pieces could prove critical: three of the last four H2Hs have featured goals from dead-ball situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-best-bets-amp-predictions\">Best Bets &amp; Predictions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bookmakers see this as a closely-fought match, with value in both player and team markets.
