Probable starting eleven:

Blackpool:
Kingson; Eardley, Cathcart, Evatt, Crainey; Phillips, Adam, Vaughan; Taylor-Fletcher, Campbell, Varney

Birmingham:
Foster; Carr, Johnson, Dann, Ridgewell; Larsson, Gardner, Ferguson, Bowyer, Hleb; Jerome

The first reason is the tradition. And the tradition is suggesting Under 2.5 goals. The last four matches, all played in this century, ended that way. Here are the results:

English Premier League 2010/11
23.10.2010. Birmingham - Blackpool 2:0

English Championship 2008/09
24.01.2009. Blackpool - Birmingham 2:0
20.09.2008. Birmingham - Blackpool 0:1

Carling Cup 2003/04
23.09.2003. Blackpool - Birmingham 1:0

The second reason for my pick is fact that the players from both teams are tired. Blackpool won 2:0 against Sunderland and lost 0:1 from Manchester City, while Birmingham played 1:1 with Manchester United and lost 0:3 from Arsenal. So, this is gonna be third match for seven days for both teams.

And finally, both teams have some problems. Blackpool is without Elliot Grandin (injured) and Dave Carney (on international duties), while Birmingham is without James McFadden (injured).
