Birmingham City defender Roger Johnson was a PL ever present for a second successive season the only outfield player to achieve this feat

Johnson has not missed a match since joining City in the Summer of 2009 from Cardiff City as the Blues Noses prepared for PL football

In his 76 PL matches he has only been substituted once  

Johnson failed to score in his first seaosn but found the net twice last season but on the down side he also scored two own goals last season as well

Birmingham and Blackpool find 39 points not enough - only three times has this been the case!

Birmingham and Blackpool both went down on 39 points, this has only happened in three seasons in the 16 seasons of 20 teams in the PL going back to 1995/96

West Ham United with 42 points in 2002/03 hold the record for most points be a relegated team

This is two more than the next two teams on the list who found 40 insufficient for survival, Bolton Wanderers in 1997/98 and Sunderland the season before 

Spurs and Birmingham both need the win for different reasons, ironically Spurs need it to get 5th place and a place in the Europa League which Birmignham already have after their CC triumph

Both teams need the points for different reasons  as Spurs look to hang on to their Europa League place and Birmingham fight to avoid the drop, although they are already in the Europa League

City will be looking for a repeat of their 3-2 win at the Lane back in December 2007 although the only player from that match who played last week for City was Sebastian Larsson

But that has been their only success of any kind away at Spurs with the home side winning the other five matches

Don't expect to many late goals at St Andrews

Only the bottom two with seven wins have fewer wins than Birmingham's eight this season

A draw looks a good bet in this match as they have both drawn 15 times in the PL this season, the joint most along with Wigan and Everton 

10th placed Fulham have the fifth best defensive record in the PL this season with 41 goals conceded

Not much to chose between these two in previous PL meetings, City have four wins, Fulham have three and the draw leads the way with six

Newcastle v Birmingham - In 11 matches between the two in the PL which team has only won once?

Newcastle have won six of the 11 matches between the two in the PL, four have ended all square and City have just one win

The one City win was at St James's Park in August 2003 when they left as 1-0 winners thanks to a David Dunn goal
