LAST IPSWICH GAME
The Durham official is taking charge of his second Blues’ game of the season, having last refereed Town’s 1-0 win over Stoke City at Portman Road in December.
That was his first ever Town game and he is the last referee to show Azor Matusiwa a yellow card – the midfielder has since gone without a booking for 19 games and avoided a two-match ban.

BIRMINGHAM RECORD
Herczeg, who has been refereeing in the EFL since 2022, has overseen three Blues’ games previously, his last being their goalless draw with West Brom in February.
He was also in charge of their 2-1 Championship home win over Watford back in December.
The West Midlands outfit are unbeaten on his watch, with him also overseeing their 1-0 win at Huddersfield Town in League One last season.
2025/26 SO FAR
He has overseen 25 games in all competitions this term – his last being a Championship clash when Watford beat Wrexham 3-1 at Vicarage Road last month.
In total, he has handed out 93 yellow cards and three reds this season, awarding two penalties.
Callum Gough and Lee Venamore are due to be the assistant referees, with Ruebyn Ricardo the fourth official, as Kieran McKenna’s side return to action after the international break.
