Alex McLeish will take his Birmingham City side to Goodison Park to face Everton in the Premier League on Wednesday March 9. Birmingham City have just been won the Carling Cup against Arsenal and are understandably on a high so this game may be a great leveller for them. You can see what happens on Wednesday by watching live streaming from bpl.trueonlinetv.
 

 
Alex McLeish now has to make sure his players put everything they have in to the league because at sixteenth in the table they are too close to the relegation zone for comfort. With European football secured for the Birmingham players they will have to work hard to keep their places because the club will be more attractive to prospective players in the transfer market. Climbing the table will be their next goal and at three points behind Everton they could find that they move up six places with a win away from home.
  
David Moyes has this week admitted that some players may need to go from the squad to finance a rebuilding project after the club has been let down by some of their better players this year. The one player that no Everton fan wanted to hear on the transfer list is young Jack Rodwell who at nineteen years old is an amazing prospect in the midfield. How this will have affected the morale in the team before the Birmingham game nobody knows but one thing is for sure and that is they need to get the result against the visitors.

 Alex McLeish will take his Birmingham City side to Goodison Park to face Everton in the Premier League on Sunday December 26. Birmingham has been in some tough games in recent weeks and the visit to Everton will be no different especially after the Merseyside Blues beat Manchester City on Monday. After that win this match has a whole different atmosphere around it and fans of both sides will be keen to watch. You can see what happens on the day by watching the whole match with live streaming from bpl.trueonlinetv.
  
Alex McLeish done well in the first half of the season with the squad he had and the fact that they are in sixteenth place in the league is no indication of the quality of the performances they have put in lately. Although they lost their last game away to Wolves, they have also drawn with Spurs and Chelsea in the last month and that is a good indication of the quality they posses. The major hurdle McLeish will have is convincing the players that away games are winnable in much the same way as home fixtures.
  
David Moyes’ knows only too well that this is a major point in the season and this period of fixtures can make or break teams. The fact that they held Manchester City on Monday with only ten men on the pitch for a large portion of the game is very good news. The signs are there that Everton may have endured the worst and come out the other side and a win in front of the fans at Goodison would go a long way to improving their league standing.

 Struggling Everton take on in-form Birmingham City at Goodison Park this coming Sunday afternoon for an English Premier League clash that is vital for David Moyes team. See how the pair get on by tuning into bpl.trueonlinetv and enjoying the live stream football at its very best.
 
After are struggling very badly for form at the moment. So much so that they have only won one Premier League match from their last ten encounters. In saying that though, last time out they travelled down to London to face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge and came away with a very creditable 3-3 draw. Although Moyes was delighted with the result in the capital, that doesn’t detract from the fact that his team appear not to be capable of winning games at the moment.

 Sunday’s encounter against a very strong and a bang-in form Birmingham City will again test the resolve of the Goodison faithful. Although the team are inundated with injuries at the moment, that excuse can only last for a few weeks and after that fans will start beginning to question the managers capabilities. Nevertheless, it is a home game for the Toffees and as such they will still have a great chance of bagging the three points with the backing of their vociferous support.

 Birmingham City’s wonderful, if rather surprising, run of form continues, much to the delight of manager Alex McLeish and new club owner Carson Yeung. The team are now unbeaten in eight league games and indeed, have won their last five in succession, including a midweek win over Sam Allardyce’s Blackburn Rovers squad. Two goals from Jerome were enough to see the Blues through, despite a late rally from Blackburn.
