Leeds and Birmingham last met at Elland Road in October 2019, with Leeds winning 1-0. They haven’t won consecutive home league games against the Blues since a run of four between 1987 and 2003.

Birmingham City are looking to complete a league double over Leeds United for the first time since the 2018-19 campaign, when they did so under former Leeds manager Garry Monk.

Leeds United are winless in their last four league games on New Year’s Day (D2 L2) since a 1-0 win over Bolton in 2013 under Neil Warnock.

Birmingham City are winless in their last 13 league games on New Year’s Day (D4 L9) since a 2-1 away win at Mansfield Town in 1991.

The only two occasions Leeds and Birmingham have met in the league on New Year’s Day were in 1921 and 2003, both times at Elland Road and both ending in a win for Leeds (1-0 in 1921, 2-0 in 2003).
