The 2023/24 Championship season is officially underway and Birmingham City are off the mark following their opening weekend draw against Swansea City. New summer signing Siriki Dembélé fired up his account with a goal just before half-time to give the Blues the lead, but the Swans hit back to bank a point after Jerry Yates’ equaliser.

Birmingham will be looking to improve on their 17th place finish last season — can John Eustace stamp some more authority on the league?

Ahead of the bulk of the action, BirminghamWorld has taken a look at how Football Manager thinks the Championship table will look on the final day of the season. Here’s how the simulation went and where the Blues have been predicted to finish.
