Birmingham are currently four points clear at the top of League One, with two games in hand over second placed Wycombe.

The side are enjoying a good season in England's third tier, and look poised to return to the Championship at the first time of asking.

Newcastle will provide a tougher test than Stevenage away, though, so Chris Davies will need his side to give it everything against the Carabao Cup finalists.
