Game: Birmingham v Newcastle

Venue: St Andrews

Day: Monday, 17 March

Kick-off: 20h00 GMT

Birmingham is quite irregular at this moment with a lot of draws.

They won 4-1 against Tottenham on an amazing game but on the last fixture they losed against strong new Portsmouth by 4-2.

For this match is expected a new and strong Birmingham against a very poor Newcastle.

For this match Birmingham defender Martin Taylor will serve the third game of a three-match ban for his red card against Arsenal.

Cameron Jerome should be fit despite a minor toe injury.

Newcastle changed is coach but it's still a desperate team fighting for not beign relegated.

For this match Newcastle could have striker Mark Viduka back after calf and hamstring injuries, while midfielder Joey Barton is also available.

But James Milner (foot) is out for three weeks, joining Shay Given (groin), Emre (calf) and Stephen Carr (hamstring) on the sidelines.

Newcastle losed 4 matches in a row, and conceeded 13 goals. Pretty incredible!

Last year Birmingham won 1-5 away and on this premiership 07/08, newcastle won the home match in december by 2-1.

A good oportunity to Birmingham get back on the road and revenge that lose.
