Match Preview:
Birmingham will be on a high having registered their first premiership win of the season when they welcome Stoke City to St Andrews Park this weekend. Catch all the live soccer streams from that game by signing up with us here on Live Sport Network.
The Blues registered their maiden Premier League win in rather controversial circumstances on Wednesday night when they beat Portsmouth by a 1-0 margin. A last gasp penalty from James McFadden gave Brum the first three points of this campaign and relieved some pressure on manager Alex McLeish.
Birmingham have bounced back nicely after a 1-0 defeat at Manchester United on Sunday and teams in the premiership will now be aware that the new boys cannot be taken lightly. McLeish will be delighted with their showing so far and could have striker Christian Benitez another start in this game as well.
With Premier League survival the main aim this season, McLeish will want to go all out against the marginal teams so they will not be hit badly for dropping points against big names.
For Stoke City, this season may well be a watershed in terms of the club history. Last season they survived through sheer tactical nous shown by manager Tony Pulis, but that alone may not be enough this time around as shown by their 4-0 loss to Liverpool on Wednesday night.
Goals from Fernando Torres, Glen Johnson, Dirk Kuyt and David Ngog gave Pulis a big headache and he will want to set things right in this game. The Potters boss has a fit squad at his disposal and may decide to start with Dave Kitson, Glenn Whelan, Danny Pugh and Carl Dickinson for this game.
