--------------------------------
Blackpool
The team rose to the Premier League in 2010. However, despite playing very vibrant football, they couldn't stay there. Then there was a rapid descent to the fourth division of the country. They later returned to the Championship but only for a brief period. Having slipped back to League One, they finished only eighth last season.
In the new season, the club showed rather modest results. However, in the spring, they managed to put together an excellent run, winning most of their matches. Yet, they still couldn't break into the top six. Against Wigan in the last round, it was just a draw - 1-1.
Birmingham City
The club was a solid mid-table side in the Premier League and even won the League Cup. But under new ownership, they got stuck in the Championship. Changes came last season. It seemed there was finally a chance to return to the Premier League. But everything fell apart with the decision to appoint Wayne Rooney as the coach of a team that was in form. Failing to recover, it all ended in relegation to League One.
To avoid getting stuck there, the team was actively reinforced with new players last summer, setting division spending records. They managed to win League One ahead of schedule, creating a lead of more than ten points over their main pursuers. They still won their recent matches, including against Mansfield on Sunday.
Blackpool possible starting lineup:
Tyrer; Offiah, Casey, Baggott, Husband; Apter, Evans, Morgan, Hamilton; Bloxham, Fletcher
Birmingham City possible starting lineup:
Allsop; Laird, Hanley, Davies, Cochrane; Leonard, Paik, Gardner-Hickman, Harris, Willumsson; May

This will be the 105th meeting between the two sides. Birmingham trail 42-36.
Their most recent clash in December saw the two sides cancel each other out in a goalless stalemate in the reverse fixture.
Seven of their last nine head-to-head games have seen at least one side keep a clean sheet.

Birmingham are unbeaten in 11 league games, winning nine.
Eight of Blackpool's last 10 games have produced at least three goals.

Prediction: Blackpool 1-2 Birmingham City
With the EFL points record just a single victory away, Birmingham will be raring to put Blackpool to the sword at Bloomfield Road on Wednesday night. The Seasiders are the masters of splitting the honours at Bloomfield Road, but we feel that Bruce's men will become the latest side to succumb to the Blues juggernaut.
