When these two sides clashed at St Andrews over Christmas, Sir Alex Ferguson was left fuming by a late equaliser scored by the home side which had a touch of offside and handball about it.
In truth, the league leaders have rarely looked troubled at home, and whilst Birmingham have had some decent results on their own patch, a trip to Old Trafford will be a major test. The Blues have had their attempts at recruiting further striking options limited, with Kenny Miller and Robbie Keane turning down a move to St Andrews.
Manchester United old boy, Ben Foster, will return to face his former club, and will be very keen to make Ferguson regret letting him leave. The Blues’ stopper has been excellent at times this season, however the tendency to make big errors remains a part of his game. He will need to be faultless if Birmingham are to avoid a comprehensive defeat.
Prediction: 3-0
