Birmingham have won just three of their last 24 meetings with Leicester in all competitions (D6 L15), losing each of the last four in a row against the Foxes.
Leicester City have won 16 of their last 21 matches in the FA Cup (L5). Indeed, since the 2017-18 campaign only three teams have won more games than them (16) in the competition: Man City (27), Chelsea (23) and Man Utd (21).
Birmingham have lost four of their last five FA Cup fourth round ties going back to 2013-14, with the exception coming in 2019-20 against Coventry City.
Leicester’s Marc Albrighton has been involved in five goals in his last six FA Cup starts, scoring two goals and assisting three more, assisting their opening goal in a 3-2 win over Millwall in this season’s third round.
