The club has confirmed all home tickets have now been sold more than two-and-a-half weeks in advance of the match on Sunday, February 11.

Blues are also expected to sell-out their away allocation in due course, ensuring a raucous atmosphere for a derby clash where more than local pride will be at stake.

Hosts Villa will be aiming to keep pace with the rest of their promotion rivals, while the visitors will be searching for vital points in their fight against relegation.

The rivals drew 0-0 when they met at St Andrew's last October.
