Leicester are in real trouble and in a relegation battle.

What do they need to do to survive? Stop the self-inflicted errors and control the controllables.

Bobby De Cordova-Reid's red card, a second in as many games for a Leicester player, was totally unnecessary.

There was no danger in midfield, the challenge was unnecessary and if he'd stayed on his feet, the Foxes would have had 11 men for 90 minutes.

Birmingham's first goal came from Ricardo Pereira dawdling in possession.

Cut out those two errors and Leicester could easily have been leaving with something from the match, especially when they have players of the quality of Abdul Fatawu in the side, a match-winner with the ability to score screamers - he bagged a stunner at St Andrew's.
