The Sky Blues won 1-0 at St Andrews earlier in the season and the City manager is looking for another win.
"These are the games you want to be involved in, playing the best teams with the best players," said Coleman to Sky Blue World.
"It will be a good atmosphere that's for sure and Birmingham have it all to play for seeing as they are going for automatic promotion on the back of a good season so far. We've beaten them at St Andrews so it should be a great game.
"We've got to try and get three points and go for the game in the same way we did against Wolves and Blackburn and if we do that and try to do it the right way then I think we could be in for a good game."
The main injury worry for Chris Coleman is the groin strain for James McPake but Elliott Ward is available after over-coming a bout of food poisoning.
Tickets are selling well for the game with over 20,000 sold so far. If you are planning on going, you are advised to get a ticket from the ticket office at the Arena or the two ticket kiosks in town or via the 24 hour hot-line.
