Birmingham city vs Arsenal

23/2- Arsenal have won 8 of the last 10 matches played in the EPL and the remaining two have been draws, they are currently on a winning streak having won their last 4 games and with a record like this they travel to take on the 17^th placed Birmingham this week. Birmingham on the other hand have won just a single match in the last 10 games played and are under serious threat of entering the relegation zone. The last time they won a match was Christmas last year but then on it has been a series of losses and draws. Birmingham get into this match after two consecutive draws in the last two matches, one being at home while the other playing away from home. Earlier this season when both the teams clashed the match ended in a draw and Birmingham would be happy if they could repeat the same result playing at home. The overall record would also make the visitors the favourites as they have won 6 of the 9 matches played between the sides in the last 15 years while there have been 2 draws.

Arsenal are sitting pretty on the top of the points table and they would be looking to extend their 5 point advantage they have over the closest rivals Manchester United to eight points after this away encounter. In Adebayor and Fabregas the side has the deadliest of combination and can break apart the defence of any opposition, the fans would be hoping to see their team exerting pressure on Manchester United by gaining an 8 point lead over them.

Birmingham City on the other hand are out of the relegation zone just on goal difference and they would at least like a point out of this tie against the leaders while Arsenal would not want to give a single bit at this point of the competition. The match promises to be an interesting one in any case.

Prediction: 1-3, Arsenal win
