Burnley's fans applaud their early season efforts. IN THE DUGOUT: A Premier League Hall of Famer, as well as being one of the names most synonymous with the recent history of the top flight, Kompany’s return to England, this time in management, is going almost as well as his playing career. Despite his appointment at the club being questioned by some, he soon shut those murmurs down with an impressive, free-flowing performance on opening night. Having had his first taste of management in his native Belgium with Anderlecht, he spent two years at the club, making the Europa Conference League during his first season, and reaching the Belgian Cup final in his second.
It’s not the Blues’ first clash with league leaders this term as they held Sheffield United to a 1-1 draw when they were top at the start of the month but tomorrow they face a Clarets side fresh off the back of a 4-0 win over Swansea City. Vincent Kompany’s team have created plenty of chances this season but finally found their clinical edge against the Swans and will arrive in Birmingham full of confidence. Their hosts will hardly be lacking in that themselves, however, as they’ve won two on the bounce as John Eustace continues to bring the good feeling back at St Andrew’s. With their club rising to 12th on the back of that run, Bluenoses have been allowing themselves to dream of a top-six challenge and perhaps even more but wednesday’s game will be a real test of how they shape up against the division’s best.

Making their way back to the top of the league for the first time since the opening day last weekend as they demolished an impressive Swansea City 4-0 at Turf Moor. Despite a late red card for the Swans, the damage was already done, and scoring four goals from just five shots on target displayed they are beginning to find the clinical edge that is required to bring a return to the Premier League.

PREVIOUS KNOCKINGS: There have been 97 games between Blues and Burnley throughout history, with the Clarets edging the competition. The first fixture between the sides came in 1908, as Blues won the Division Two clash 2-0, and would then draw the following fixture 1-1. Birmingham City would win four of the first ten, and would draw the same number, only losing two. The first 10 games would almost mirror the most recent ten, with Blues winning the same amount, but Burnley winning three and drawing three. In terms of all-time results, Burnley have won 44 of the matches, with Blues having the better of the clash on 32 occasions. Draws are a relatively rare result, with only 21 coming over time.

A strong leader and inspirational captain for many years, Kompany played 382 games throughout his career and led Manchester City to their first league title in 44 years during his first season as club captain. The centre-half also played 89 times for Belgium, finishing third at the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Despite his managerial career being in its infancy, he will be looking to add a Championship promotion to his vast list of honours in the near future. Vincent Kompany, who boasts a 47% win rate as manager, salutes the Turf Moor faithful. ONE TO WATCH: Capturing his best career form to date this season, Josh Brownhill has been an integral part to the change in style on the pitch at the club. Already only one goal away from equalling his best-ever tally of four in a season, matched by the same number of assists, the centre-midfielder is starting to display the form that got him noticed at Bristol City over three years ago.
Josh Brownhill was at Manchester United as a schoolboy. LAST TIME OUT: After a six-year absence from the fixture, Blues host Burnley in the Championship once again. The last fixture at St. Andrews ended in a 1-2 win for the Clarets against a 10-man hosts as George Boyd opened the scoring and Andre Gray sealed all three points either side of a Jacques Maghoma equaliser. The same season saw a 2-2 draw at Turf Moor, as a late Matt Taylor goal earned a point for Burnley. Jon Toral and Paul Caddis scored the goals for Blues who twice went ahead in the contest.

Latest team newsIt would not be a surprise to see Burnley stick with the same XI that tore Swansea apart on the weekend. He won’t be able to call on Kevin Long, Darko Churlinov, Ashley Westwood, and Scott Twine as they remain sidelined with injuries. Birmingham, meanwhile, are set to be without Przemyslaw Placheta, Marc Roberts, George Friend, Gary Gardner, and Nico Gordon due to injury. These 18 Birmingham City quiz questions will reveal just how big of a fan you are1 of 18History: When was the club founded? 1870 1875 1880 1885Score predictionThe good feeling appears to be back at Birmingham right now but beating a defensively fragile Bristol City and then a lost Hull City doesn’t mean they can expect to come away with three points against the league leaders. Things didn’t click straight away for Burnley but they look like the best team in the division right now and have the league position to prove it.
Having played every minute of the league season so far, the midfielder has been given license to play a more attacking role following the signing of Joe Cullen in the summer, and Kompany’s side have reaped the rewards of this. Brownhill has been deployed in an attacking-midfield role behind the striker, with his four assists suggesting this could be his best position. Warrington born Brownhill began his professional career at Preston aged 17 and helped his side to League One play-off glory in his second season, playing 18 games, and securing two goals and as many assists. Following promotion, he dropped back down to the third tier, playing 22 games for Barnsley as they finished sixth and won the Football League Trophy. Following the impressive loan spell, he switched to Bristol City, where he would spend four seasons and really make his name in English football, prompting his big-money move to the Clarets.

Opposition Report: Burnley | Birmingham City Football ClubA closer look at the opposition ahead of Blues’ Sky Bet Championship game at St’ Andrews against Burnley on Wednesday night. FORM GUIDE: Coming into the campaign as pre-season promotion candidates, Burnley have shown they are a side worthy of the acclaim. Despite Vincent Kompany’s men having drawn more games than they have actually won, the Clarets have lost the fewest number of matches in the division; their solitary defeat coming against a ten-man Watford side back in August. After an opening day win over last term’s highflyers Huddersfield Town, they went three without a win, and it looked as if the manager would have a tough time in his first spell bossing in England. However, since the first defeat three games in, the Lancashire-based club have gone 11 unbeaten and have won a trio of their last five matches.

CLUB STALWART: Although never making an impression on the field for the Clarets, Sean Dyche took the club to places many fans never thought they would see during his nine-and-a-half years in the North West. Succeeding Eddie Howe in October 2012, Dyche would lead Burnley to their best start to a season since their formation and then earned the Clarets promotion back to the Premier League after a four-year absence from the top tier. Although the club would only stay there for a year before returning back to the second division, at the first time of asking, Dyche managed once again to get his side promoted and would this time make them an outfit in the league for many years to come.
