Looking forward to getting back to domestic competition again after the international break.
Leicester travel to Birmingham City for what will no doubt be a keenly contested match between two similar sized clubs. Birmingham have the more recent premier league experience although Leicester's Thai-based owners are funding a significant promotion challenge.
Predictions then?
I'm going for a hard fought 1-1. (Beckford to get off the mark for Leicester)
Something for the weekend...

I think it maybe a good time to play Birmingham.
Are they playing in Europe next week.
Such games often produce a slightly poorer result just before European matches.
Players wanting to remain fit for the BIG one etc.

...or 2-0 to Leicester.

Very hard to predict, I'll go 1-0 Blues
Whoever wins will be a good indicator to potential in this league

Hairyfox,
Good theory, and the forthcoming Euro game is a biggie, with Brum being supported in Bruges by 5,000 fans, so everyone's expecting a memorable occasion.
However, after a few weeks of our Bosman heroes getting to know each other, we're establishing a fairly decent front line (with options for revolving the 4 strikers we have) and defence. The one area yet to be settled is central midfield, but I'm hoping that a pairing of Wade Elliot and Beausejour may win the day.
Close game though, I reckon

Both teams play attacking football so looking forward to a cracker. 4-3 to Blues.

Sharky on the Tilton - I think your judging us by last season's Leicester. This season, Sven's approach has been to develop a mean defence (which he now has) and we now play more pragmatic football. I think over 400 minutes of league football without conceding shows that.
If anything, before the Derby match, some were accusing us of being too defensive. I think we'll nick it (although that is heart over head) but I probably would take a point. Birmingham are starting to find a bit of form now and St Andrews is a tough place to go so I think it'll be a close game.
I'm going 1-0 with Danns to score against his old club.

Leicester City havent loast at St Andrews in the league since 1985. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? I would be more than happy with a point, but would really like another win, as I already feel we are playing catch up.

Your players (Birmingham) have been 'having it off' for the last 2 weeks as you said.
I think bearing that i mind your players might tirer more quickly than ours.With this in mind i'll go for a 1-0 win for our boys (Leicester City).(.)(.).
One last thing to ALL Birmingham & Leicester fans lets make some noise for the young lad that sadly passed away this week.After all he was one of us. A Football fan.
