Birmingham City will be looking to get their season off to a perfect start when they visit Sunderland in their opening Premier League fixture this Saturday. You can watch all the live Premiership football by signing up with us here on Live Sport Network.

The Blues had an excellent season last time around and finished ninth in the table. Manager Alex McLeish has been busy improving his squad in the summer with Ben Foster and Nikola Zigic arriving for a combined fee of £12 million while Enric Valles was snapped up on a free transfer.

The Birmingham City manager has managed to keep hold of his key players from last season and will be looking for another successful season and once again finish inside the top half of the league table.

Sunderland on the other hand will be hopeful of another good start to the season with manager Steve Bruce looking to improve on their 13th place finish from last season. The Black Cats had started the last season strongly, winning three of their first five games but a slump in form midway through the season meant that they were unable to challenge for a place inside the top half of the table.

Sunderland’s hopes of a good start has been dealt a big blow with as many as eight players struggling to get fit ahead of the tie this weekend. Darren Bent, Anton Ferdinand and Lee Cattermole are all out injured and are not expected to regain full fitness before the kick off this weekend.
