Birmingham - Queens Park Rangers

Can Birmingham City maintain their momentum as they welcome Queens Park Rangers to St Andrew's Knighthead Park on 17 October 2026 for this matchday 11 encounter? The hosts head into the fixture in fine form, having recently secured a dominant 4-0 victory over Preston North End and a narrow win against West Bromwich Albion. Birmingham City will look to August Priske and Jay Stansfield to lead the attack in the expected XI, though they must navigate the absence of the injured Seung-Ho Paik in midfield.

Queens Park Rangers arrive with confidence following a convincing 4-1 win against Derby County. While they will be without the injured Ilias Chair, the visitors have proven difficult to break down during their recent run of results. With both sides demonstrating an ability to find the net, the tactical battle between the midfield units will be pivotal in determining which team dictates the tempo on Saturday.
