Pick of the stats: Birmingham City v Preston North End

Birmingham City host bottom-placed Preston North End at St Andrew's on Tuesday night in their 101st meeting. Seventh-placed Birmingham enter the Championship fixture having won two of their last three matches, including a 1-0 victory over West Brom. Preston have managed just one win all season, with manager Graham Alexander still seeking his first victory after a 1-0 defeat to Millwall.

Birmingham have won their last three league meetings against Preston and could secure four consecutive wins against them for the first time. The Blues have drawn all four Championship home matches this season, while Preston remain without a clean sheet in 14 consecutive away league games. Birmingham forward Jay Stansfield has scored in three of four appearances against the Lilywhites.
