Birmingham City V Sunderland

With a little help from a Beach ball Sunderland got a great result against Liverpool, regardless of whether it should have been a drop ball, Sunderland were by far the better team and deserved the 3 points and currently lie 7th only 6 points off the top, this is the same club that marginally stayed up last year and has had a remarkable turnaround under Bruce's leadership.

Birmingham have a new owner and will have 80 million to spend on players over the next 2 windows, For their sake they need some points on the board before the end of December to make sure the £40 million will be enough to help them stay up.

Sunderland have the better team and squad and i think will have too much for Brum

Mystic Jarv predicts a 2-0 win for Sunderland

Birmingham have got new owners and it remains to be seen what effect that will have. Their greatest problem is scoring goals. Manager Alex McLeish plays a particular system but they are facing a form team.

Sunderland have had some very good results and were unlucky to draw against Manchester United. They fully deserved to beat Liverpool and it will be interesting to see how Steve Bruce copes with returning to St Andrews.

Verdict: 1-1
