Birmingham City v Stoke City Live streaming

Saturday August 22, 2009 Kick off: 15:00
Stoke have failed to score in their last five meetings in all competitions against Birmingham.

These two sides have not met in the top division since 1983-84 when Birmingham won this fixture 1-0.

Birmingham have won five and drawn two of the last seven home games against Stoke since losing to the Potters in October 1988.

Rory Delap (pictured) has already hurled in 19 long throws this season, a divisional high.

The Blues are unbeaten in their last nine league home games.

Stoke are unbeaten in their trips to the second city in the Premier League, drawing at Villa and winning at West Brom last season. They also recorded wins over both Villa and the Baggies in last season's games at The Britannia.

The Potters have conceded exactly eight goals in their last two top-flight away games.

Stoke have won eight league games in 2009, as many as Everton.
