Norwich have beaten Sheffield United and Burnley already this season
Birmingham are unbeaten in the league but have drawn four of their five matches
Recommended bet: Norwich to win, both teams to score and Mohamed Toure to score anytime @ 5/1 with LiveScore Bet
Birmingham City's unbeaten start in the Championship this season is under threat when the Blues go to Norwich City on Wednesday.
Chris Davies' side are yet to lose as they eye a promotion push from the second tier but four draws from their first five games reflect the fact it has been a solid, rather than spectacular, start.
The Canaries have been inconsistent, winning two of their five games and losing the other three, but the manner of those victories over Sheffield United and Burnley demonstrate how dangerous Philippe Clement's side can be.
Team news
Norwich are without injured trio Ali Ahmed, Lucien Mahovo and Mirko Topic, while Jovon Makama is getting closer to full fitness and may return to the squad.
Blues' injury issues in midfield have increased after Jhon Solis was the latest to be ruled out, while the visitors must also make do without Taylor Gardner-Hickman and Marc Leonard for the trip to Carrow Road.

Prediction
Birmingham's unbeaten start means they are optimistically looking at competing in and around the top eight in the Championship again and Blues should ultimately be good enough to land at least a play-off place this season.
However, they were fortunate to get a point at home to Wolves in the West Midlands derby on Sunday, relying on Jackson Tchatchoua's bizarre own goal at St Andrew's, and a trip to Carrow Road next is a difficult test.
Norwich have been inconsistent with disappointing defeats to West Brom, Stoke and Millwall mixed in with a couple of fine wins over Burnley and Sheffield United.
They come into Wednesday's game with their tails up, though, following that deserved win at Bramall Lane and the hosts should have enough to record back-to-back wins, with Mohamed Toure tipped to provide the inspiration for the Canaries again.
The striker got his fourth goal of the season in all competitions at the weekend and should be full of confidence for the midweek outing.
The visitors will likely get on the scoresheet in East Anglia, having done so in four of their five league games so far, in what is expected to be a closely fought contest overall.
