Birmingham City secured a commanding 4-0 Championship victory over 10-man Preston North End at St Andrew's @ Knighthead Park on Tuesday, October 13, 2026.
August Priske scored twice in quick succession as Birmingham capitalised on Preston's dismissal of a player to claim a dominant home win.
The result extended Birmingham's positive run following their 1-0 victory over West Brom on Saturday.
According to the October 13 report published by edp24. co.

Preston's Struggles Continue Under New Manager
Preston entered the match at the bottom of the Championship table after losing 1-0 to Millwall in Graham Alexander's first game in charge.
The defeat against Birmingham added to the challenge facing the club as it attempts to move clear of the relegation zone.
Preston's difficulties followed a managerial change at the end of September, when the club dismissed Paul Heckingbottom and appointed Alexander.
The new manager was tasked with guiding North End away from the relegation places, but his opening two matches included defeats against Millwall and Birmingham.
Priske's quickfire brace helped Birmingham establish control of a match in which Preston played with 10 men.
The home side ultimately recorded a four-goal victory, although the available report did not provide the individual scorers for the other two goals or the exact timing of the dismissal.
Birmingham had returned to winning form against West Brom following a three-week international break, and the Preston fixture offered an opportunity to secure consecutive Championship victories for the first time that season.
The 4-0 result delivered that milestone, according to the pre-match context published by Radio Times and the match report from edp24.
co. uk.
The Championship fixture took place at St Andrew's @ Knighthead Park, Birmingham's home ground.
The 4-0 scoreline gave the hosts a convincing result against a Preston side that had entered the match seeking a response after its previous league defeat.
