Curtis Davies has given Birmingham City a one-goal advantage after 45 minutes against Burnley at Turf Moor.
The hosts began brightly, as Danny Ings twice threatened to break the deadlock with headers.
Ross Wallace was finding plenty of space down the left, picking the striker out on both occasions.
The Clarets continued to push forward, but fell behind against the run of play when Curtis Davies nodded home unmarked from a corner.
