Aston Villa will travel to St Andrews on Sunday afternoon to renew hostility with local rivals Birmingham City.
The game will have extra added spice given Aston Villa’s 1-0 victory in the cup in perhaps their worst ever season in recent time as well as the elephant in the room which is Steve Bruce returning to his old hunting ground.
Nemesis of past days, Gabriel Agbonlahor is expected to be nowhere near first team for Sunday so it will be down to the new lions to roar and represent their side with pride.
Steve Bruce will go into the game looking for three wins on the spin whilst Birmingham City will be looking to get back on track after a defeat to Burton Albion last Friday.
In recent years there have been some classic performances. Read Aston Villa have quickly recapped the last six games. Which is your favourite game from the past?
