This game is definitely going to be the last on Match of the Day’s programme on Saturday night. The home side haven’t exactly caught the eye this season and the Carling Cup winners, Birmingham, have recently adopted a direct style with the big target man, Nikola Zigic, at the top. In fact, this match up puts together two leagues two lowest scorers.
Wigan face Tottenham and Chelsea after this week’s game, so three points are a must for the basement club. But Birmingham have been better on the road, with their only defeat coming at Manchester United. With the return of some key players, I think Big ‘Eck’s team will have too much for their hosts.
