How has Birmingham's season gone so far? We couldn't be more happy with it. Four games played and undefeated so far is probably more than the most loyal of fans would have predicted especially with an away game at Newcastle in amongst those.

Keep an eye on the calming influence of Kenny Cunningham in defence also - if he shakes off a groin injury in time for the game that is. Strong point in the Birmingham team? The non stop work rate of the midfield players in particular and of course the silky skills of the two mentioned above. Weak point in the Birmingham team? If there's one weak link at the moment I'd have to point to the lack of pace on the right side of defence. This was clearly outlined in the game with Fulham last weekend when Louis Boa Morte ran us ragged down that flank. Prediction for Saturday?
