There have only been 8 competitive ties with Birmingham. The last time we met in 2001 ended in a draw and City won all the previous 7 encounters.
The Gills have only scored 3 goals in the 8 ties against Birmingham whilst City scored 16. Those 3 goals have come in the last 3 meetings however.
The Gills record in the 2nd round of the league cup away to higher league opposition stands at Won 1, Drew 4 and Lost 13. The only win came in the 1971/72 season at Notts County.
The Gills haven't been past this round since the 2005/6 season when an extra time win at home to Portsmouth set up a Round 3 exit to Doncaster.
It took Bradley Dack 30 games last season before he scored 5 goals for the Gills and 32 games before he scored 6.
The Gills have their best start since 2005 when they were unbeaten in 5. That season they lost the 6th match so avoiding defeat would be the best start since the 1986/87 season.
The Gills have scored in their last 11 league and cup games as well as their last 7 away from home.
