Leicester City suffered a 2-1 defeat to Birmingham City on Saturday, February 7, 2026. The Foxes played with ten men for nearly an hour after Bobby De Cordova-Reid received a red card, marking their third consecutive league loss. This result followed a six-point deduction earlier in the week, which left Leicester 21st in the Sky Bet Championship, only above the relegation zone on goal difference. They also lost 0-2 to Charlton Athletic on January 31, 2026.
Meanwhile, Millwall secured a 2-0 away win against Wrexham on the same day, opening a six-point lead over seventh place. Pundit Sam Parkin noted Millwall's strong promotion credentials, highlighting the impact of new signings like Tommy Watson and Femi Azeez, who scored against Wrexham. Millwall currently sits fifth in the Championship table. Their previous match was a 1-1 draw against Sheffield United on January 31, 2026.
