The Red Devils will be in strange territory on the opening day as they will have to adjust to life without Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez. The former got his wish of moving to Real Madrid, while the latter left to rivals Man City in a huff as he did not feel wanted.

Nevertheless Sir Alex Ferguson has brought in Antonio Valencia and Michael Owen to replace the pair. The latter has started well, but it remains to be seen how Ferguson plans to use him in light of his injury issues.

With Dimitar Berbatov and Wayne Rooney the preferred forwards, Owen may be used as a super-sub. Manchester United lost to Chelsea in the Community Shield finals last Sunday, but that will not be an issue when the Premiership finally gets going.

Birmingham on the other had will want to concentrate mainly on staving off relegation. Manager Alex McLeish has done wonders to bring his team straight back up. He has also signed James O'Shea and Barry Ferguson. He has also assured striker Kevin Phillips that he is an important cog in the club's wheel. However Christian Bentiez may miss the start of the season as he is lacking in full fitness.
