Poor David Davis.

Gianfranco Zola is not the first manager whose side have struggled to keep Chris Wood quiet, but he might be annoyed that a ball over the top from the right managed to squeeze itself through Paul Robinson and an outstretched Ryan Shotton to the big New Zealander.

Forget what I was saying about Chris Wood, he just can't stop scoring this season.

And it all stems from the Birmingham City corner. Leeds keeper Rob Green plays it forward, and through Luke Ayling the ball finds its way to Wood, who manages to get a toe to it and poke it over the onrushing Tomasz Kuszczak.

He made a difficult finish look very simple.

Another chance for Birmingham and this it's Che Adams who breaks through after Pontus Jansson fails to deal properly with a ball forward.

But Rob Green tips Adams' strike from a tight angle behind.

While we take a moment to change the ball, stat fans get ready - you're in for a treat.

Chris Wood is Leeds' talisman, scoring 23 goals in 37 matches this season and terrifying all manner of defences across the country.

But not Birmingham.

While the New Zealander has scored against 20 of the 28 teams he has faced in the Championship at Leeds, he has failed in three attempts against Blues.

Told you it was a good one.

He's barely been involved so far.

Birmingham are certainly on the front foot here. Leeds centre-back Pontus Jansson has to be at his best to head behind a great ball into the box from Emilio Nsue over his own bar.

The corner kick is played short and wasted by Cheick Keita. 

Birmingham have the first real opening of the match as Craig Gardner finds some space on the edge of the Leeds box, and after his strike loops up into the air off a defender, David Davis volleys the dropping ball into the side netting from a tight angle.

It was a difficult chance, but Davis did well.

Both sides are just trying to settle into the match right now, and both are not always finding a team-mate with their passes forward. It's been a little bit scrappy so far.

As we enjoy the early stages of this match, you might be interested to hear that earlier today the Football Association announced, among numerous things, its desire to test a video assistant referee system from next season's FA Cup third round.

Video assistant referees will review "match-changing" situations before informing the on-field official.  

As this will affect many EFL clubs, we're wanting to get your opinion on this.

Birmingham win an early free-kick on the left-hand side, but it sails straight into the hands of Leeds goalkeeper Rob Green.

Really poor delivery from Craig Gardner.

After a superbly observed minute's applause, Leeds, under the eyes of coach James Beattie instead of the suspended Garry Monk, get us under way.

There will be a minute's applause before the game in memory of former Birmingham City player Roger Hynd.

The Scot, born in Falkirk, who also played for Rangers, Crystal Palace, Oxford United and Walsall, died last month at the age of 75.

He played for Rangers in the 1967 European Cup Winners Cup final, but spent his happiest years with Blues, scoring four times in 170 appearances in his five seasons at the club.

The players are out at St Andrew's. We are moments away from kick-off in the West Midlands.

If you for whatever reason stray away from your phone or laptop this evening and find yourself near a radio, BBC WM 95.6 and BBC Leeds have full commentary of the action at St Andrew's for those lucky enough to be in those areas.

If not, sit tight and continue to follow us merrily here.

Sadly a rights issue means local radio coverage is not available to listen to online.

Yes, the early February match at West Yorkshire rivals Huddersfield not only ended in a hurtful defeat, but also in acrimonious circumstances.

It's safe to say things got a little heated between Leeds boss Garry Monk and Terriers manager David Wagner, after the latter sprinted to join his players in  celebrating their late winner  on 5 February before clashing with Monk.

Wagner got a two-match ban, while Monk serves his one-match ban tonight at St Andrew's.

Will that have any affect on the match tonight?

Leeds United look well on course for a tilt at the Premier League this season.

Sitting fourth in the Championship table, the Whites have recovered from a mini blip in which they were knocked out of the FA Cup by non-league Sutton and suffered back-to-back league defeats.

Last weekend's 1-0 victory over fellow play-off hopefuls Sheffield Wednesday sent out a statement and they'll be hoping to move to within a point of third-placed Huddersfield before the weekend.

But they'll have to do it without their manager on the sidelines tonight...

Is this the face of a man that thinks his side have turned the corner?

Let's be honest, it hadn't been the best of starts for Gianfranco Zola as Birmingham City boss, taking him 11 games to get a precious first win.

Three losses followed the victory, until last Friday's 2-1 defeat of West Midlands rivals Wolves, to which Zola celebrated almost as if he'd won the league.

Will we see more passion from Zola tonight?
