Aston Villa are headed into this fixture after 2 wins on the trot against Liverpool and Fulham after the initial loss to Wigan in the opening weekend and are looking to build on their momentum to get the business done today as well.

Villains have 2 of the hardest working wingers in the business with Milner and Ashley Young moving up and down botht he flanks, and will be expected to make another impact tonight trying to get a win at their city rivals of Birmingham.

Richard Dunne and James Collins, the 2 new centre backs for Aston Villa are in line to make their debuts with Luke Young and Curtis Davies both out injured for the immediate period atleast.

Birmingham's problems have bene coming in front of the goal as they have failed to put the ball in the back of the net regularly doing it only twice in the 4 games that they have played and will be looking for some improvement there. Birmingham's defence has been shaky at times, and this will be easy for Carew and Gaby to take advantage of in this game.

Derbies as they are should be a tight game, but the Villains should just sneak this one.
