Norwich appointed Philippe Clement as their new boss this week
Birmingham have won their last two home games 4-0
Recommended bet: Birmingham to win
New Norwich boss Philippe Clement faces a tough first game in charge at improving Birmingham in the Championship on Saturday.
Succeeding Liam Manning in the Norwich hot-seat, former Rangers boss Clement must try to get his new club moving quickly as he inherits a side in the relegation zone in the second tier.
Hosts Birmingham, meanwhile, endured an inconsistent start to the season following promotion, but have shown plenty of good signs of late, particularly at home, with back-to-back 4-0 wins at St Andrew's over Millwall and Portsmouth.

Prediction
Birmingham have made a solid start to life back in the Championship and while a promotion challenge still looks some way off, Blues can maintain their recent upward trajectory by seeing off Norwich at St Andrew's, ruining new Canaries boss Clement's first game in charge.
Norwich opted to part ways with Liam Manning earlier this month after a dismal run of just two wins from 15, and have turned to former Rangers boss Clement to try and get them moving in the right direction again.
The Belgian may eventually get a tune out of the Canaries but this is a difficult first assignment.
The visitors' away form this season has at least been better than what they have mustered at Carrow Road, but still only two wins from eight road trips is hardly anything to get excited about.
Furthermore, with Blues in recent rude health at home, the relegation-threatened Canaries could be in for another difficult afternoon.
