Manchester United 5 Birmingham 0 highlights 22/1/11

Manchester United's position is deceiving as whilst they have resoundly seen off many sides at Old Trafford this season, their away form hasn't been as dazzling. They've drawn 8 of their away matches this season and it has definitely not been a champions away form on show. Saying that they are STILL unbeaten this season in the league which is part of the reason why they are sitting pretty at the premiership suumit. The other main reason is that they have almost a 100% record at home. The only visitors to take points from Old Trafford this season are West Brom and that was mainly due to an error from United keeper Van Der Sar. They'll be hoping that another midlands side doesn't hold them on Saturday.

Times were much rosier for Birmingham this time last year, but 12 months on the midlanders are now hovering over the drop zone in 16th and have only clocked up 23 points so far this term. They began the season in a typical resolute set of results but have lately been floundering with only 1 win on their last six outings. The blues will be proud as punch if they can pull off a repeat of the draw at St Andrews that was played out in January then they will be really happy. The match takes place at Old Trafford on Saturday and kicks off at 3pm.
