Birmingham are hosting Chelsea in the first of a number of tight Premier league fixtures over the next few days.

Birmingham are currently in good form, going on a 5-match unbeaten run before finally drawing against Everton at Goodison park.
Manager Alex McLeish is expected to field an unchanged side, same side he has fielded for the last 6 games. His side has been productive too, with goals from midfielders Lee Bowyer and Sebastian Larsson leading the chart.
The pair are in fine form, and should give the Chelsea defense a few things to worry about.
Birmingham have kept a fairly clean sheet too, especially at home. The centre-back partnership between Roger Johnson and Scott Dann has been quite effective.
McLeish has high hopes of getting at least a draw at home on Saturday.

Manager Carlo Ancelotti believes his team are back in shape, though they have won just once in their last 5 games.
Chelsea are currently topping the table with 4 points, and a loss will put them in danger of losing their top spot, depending on the outcome of Manchester United's and Arsenal's games.
Didier Drogba and Solomon Kalou will be available for the final time tomorrow before they head off to the Ivory Coast for the African Nations cup. After tomorrow's game, Ancelotti will be left considering other options.
Nicolas Anelka is still out injured and is not expected to make this game.
With Michael Essien still missing for the Blues, they will need to put in extra effort at keeping things tight defensively in the middle.
Hopefully, all defensive lapses have been rectified at the back. John Terry and his fellow defenders will need to stay alert as Birmingham pose some sort of threat. And they are quite good at scoring from set-pieces as well.

Match is on Hitv. . .Hi Soccer.

What do you think,with drogba everything is possible in chelsea.

Birmingham are on a high but i expect chelsea to pick up their form at st.andrews

Drog will want to leave for the ANC on a high.
CFC will win this if they don't mess up on set piece.
