(St Andrews, 7.45pm, 1/12/10)
Vs
Form
Birmingham - Come into the game on the back of three good results, especially 1-0 against Chelsea
Aston Villa - A decent start to the season has slowly gotten worse, despite scoring twice against Arsenal they still suffered a defeat.
Key Men
Birmingham - Despite an inconsistent season Larsson finally got on the scoresheet and put in an impresive performance against Fulham
Aston Villa - If Gabby is fit he will no doubt cause our defence problems, if not Clarke finally scored his first 2 Villa goals against Arsenal
Not So Key
Birmingham - Despite an impressive first half against Fulham, Hleb picked up an injury which means he misses the game
Aston Villa - Like Hleb, Mark Albrighton an avid Villa fan misses the Second City derby again through injury.
Previous Meeting
Aston Villa 0-0 Birmingham
Prediction
A close game which i hate predicting however i reckon either 2-1 to Blues or a penalty shoot out
Key Men
