Sunday 16/1/11 St Andrews 12.00 Sky Sports 1
vs
Form
Birmingham - Birmingham go into the game on the back of a few decent results except for the Arsenal at home game
Aston Villa - Dropped into the bottom 3 after finding the start of 2011 and the end of 2010 a hard time to pick up points
Key Men
Birmingham - David Bentley - Joined on loan, will bring quality to our poor attacking play. Seems he may make his debut in the derby
Aston Villa - Mark Albrighton - First derby game as an Aston Villa senior player, missed the last 2 games despite being a massive Villa fan
Not So Key
Birmingham - Scott Dann - Unfortunately picked up an injury and will miss the next few games
Aston Villa - Ashley Young/Emile Heskey - Both miss the derby game due to wreckless red cards
Prediction
Birmingham 2-1 Aston Villa
Close game but because we are pretty tough at home and Villa are low on confidence i can see us edging it slightly
