Preview: Birmingham City vs Leeds United Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | FA Cup 2025-26

The Peacocks dominated the proceedings when these clubs last faced each other.

Birmingham City are now going to take on Leeds United for their fourth round outing of the 2025-26 FA Cup. This will be an entertaining outing between these sides and is scheduled to take place at St. Andrew’s Stadium.

The Blues have performed decently in their last eight matches and will be looking to put up another top performance. They will be the hosts for their cup game and will be eager to use it to their advantage. Birmingham City haven’t faced a defeat in their last eight matches and will be confident for their next one.

The Peacocks secured a 2-2 draw against Chelsea in their Premier League contest. They will be away from home for their FA Cup clash and will be keen to put in top efforts against the hosts. The upcoming game is not going to be an easy one for Leeds United, but they will surely cause problems for Birmingham.

Players to Watch

Jay Stansfield (Birmingham City)

Jay Stansfield is going to be one of the main men in the attacking front for Birmingham City. Even though he is not in top form, he can still cause issues for the opponent’s defence. A top performance by Stansfield will surely be a big aspect for the hosts.

Lukas Nmecha (Leeds United)

Lukas Nmecha has performed well in the last three matches for Leeds United and will be keen to put up another top show. He bagged an assist and also scored a goal against Chelsea in the previous fixture. The 27-year-old will be a crucial part for the Peacocks in the final third.
