Birmingham vs Liverpool
St' Andrew's stadium. 3.30 HK TIME, Channel 22.

We'll be visiting Birmingham during the mdiweekm prior to the meeting with Arsenal at the Emirates this weekend.

The blues wil surely remember the 7-0 painful defeat Liverpool inflicted on them not long ago. Pennant was playing for the blues then.

The match will be different from then, after they had a nightmare of their lives and we scored as if we were eating rice.

The game will not be tough but i can predict a comfortable win, let's say 4-0 or 3-0 at least. Our objective will be keeping our key players fit ahead of the weekend's clash and RB has mentioned that he will leave Steven Gerrard, Sami Hyypia, Pepe Reina and Luis Garcia behind and Jersey Dudek will be given his first start this season.

Pennant was one of those involved in the 7-0 thrashing and as he prepares for his first trip back to his former club, he knows that Steve Bruce's team will be desperate to make amends this time around.

So fellow Reds, do not expect this game to be like that time as the blues are in a fine form of late.

Likely formation:

Dudek
Finnan Carragher Agger Paletta
Pennant Sissoko Alonso Zenden
Fowler Bellamy
