Sports Mole previews the Championship showdown between Peterborough United and Birmingham City.

Struggling Peterborough United go into this weekend's Championship clash with Birmingham City off the back of a couple of impressive results.

Darren Ferguson's men thrashed Millwall 5-1 away from home in their last league outing, and saw off high-flying Leicester City 2-1 the previous week.

The result leaves 23rd-placed Posh just four points from safety with a game in hand on Huddersfield Town in 21st.

Birmingham have struggled with consistency all season, and could be pulled into a relegation dogfight with a defeat at London Road, going into the match just four points clear of the bottom three.
