Preview: Birmingham City vs. Leeds United

Birmingham vs. Leeds

A number of Birmingham players will need late fitness tests ahead of their third-round FA Cup replay against Leeds this evening, following their 1-1 draw earlier this month.

Callum Reilly was forced off with illness at the weekend for Birmingham, while Jonathan Spector aggravated an ankle injury, adding to the St Andrew's side's extensive injury list.

Neil Warnock has no fresh injury concerns, but will not be able to use new signing Michael Tonge, as he joined Leeds after the original fixture took place.

The Elland Road outfit could have Adam Drury available, having missed their Championship game at the weekend through illness.

The winner will face a fourth-round tie at home to Tottenham Hotspur.
