History of the Birmingham City v Norwich City fixture
Blues are ready to welcome Norwich City to St. Andrew's on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Blues are clearly on top, having won 15 and lost only 5 of the 26 games played on home soil.
The previous match played between the two sides was within the last three years, in May 2002, where they shared the spoils in a 1-1 final scoreline in the Division One Play-Off Final in Cardiff. Blues went back to the top-flight with a 4-2 penalty shoot-out win at the Millenium Stadium that day.
