Birmingham VS Newcastle Live: FA CUP TEAM NEWS AND LINE-UPS LIKE LEAGUE ONE LEADERS PLOT SHOCK

Both sets of players go out to an electric St. Andrews atmosphere on a gloomy late afternoon.

Jay Stansfield’s arrival at League One broke all the norms known by the division previously, with his transfer fee of £ 12 million.

Even the player himself knows how crazy it was for Birmingham to replace so much cash.

“I wouldn’t say I feel under pressure,” Stansfield told BBC Sport.

“I think it’s a crazy fee to be honest, and it’s privileged to have this fee on my back, and I can’t thank Club for having faith and backed me to be a player of that quality.”

We are less than 10 minutes from the kick-off as Birmingham seems to cause one of the weekend’s disturbances against their Premier League visitors.

Blues are flying this season, currently four points at the top of League One with two games in hand and will aim to raise their season even longer with a larger Premier League headbed.

St. Andrews is definitely bouncing. Follow all the action right here.
