Full Time Score: Birmingham 0-0 Manchester City

Live Update

FT - But they don't. The ref blows and it's all over! A pulsating game that had everything but a goal. Birmingham will rue the missed penalty while for City it's a fourth consecutive draw. Not a pleasing run of results for their sugar daddies. They still go up to fourth in the league above Tottenham on goal difference though. That's it from us for now. Linger around, enjoy our Barclays Premier League coverage from Saturday and we'll have the match report as well as the post match reactions from today's game shortly.

ET - What a fool. Ferguson prevents Zabaleta from taking a throw and is booked for a second time in the match. If Birmingham lose it from here, McLeish will be apopleptic.

ET - Tevez tries to go it alone now. Birmingham's defence stands up well though and the forward hits a frustrated and wild shot.

ET - Petrov knocking at Birmingham's door now!  But his left footed screamer goes high and wide.

ET - End to end stuff now. Bowyer picks out Kevin Phillips who just can't make the right contact. Gathered in the end by a relieved Given

ET - Wright Phillips now wins a corner on the other end of the pitch. Bad delivery though and it's taken easily by Taylor

90' - Mistake by Wright Phillips gives Benitez the ball. He passes it to Larsson who sends in a cross. Untidily cleared by City.

87' - Phillips on for Jerome

87' - Great control by Wright Phillips to bring down a Tevez long ball. Whips it in, but is repelled by the defence.

86' - Thakfully it's not as serious as it looked initially. The game is underaway again and Johnson is back on his feet.

84' - Concerning times here at St. Andrews. Johnson slides for a tackle and Lescott stumbles over him. Johnson is writhing on the pitch.

83' - City break with five upfield. Good tracking back by Ferguon averts imminent danger.

82' - Kompany smashes the ball into Zabalet'a shiny head. Corner. Deflected away for another.

80'  Game getting mired in midfield now.

76' - A loose back pass from Dann gifts city a corner. Poor delivery and it's cleared easily.

74' - Jerome is away for Birmingham! Disappointingly heavy ball for Ferguson though and the move peters out.

73' - Barry crosses over for Wright Phillips who is both offside and too short. Birmingham goal kick.

69' - Another great Birmingham move! Jerome just can't get to a cross from the right and then Benitez squanders the ball away.

67' - Tevez shoots from the left! Straight at Taylor though and it's punched out.

66' - Martin Petrov on for Santa Cruz. Hughes ringing in the changes now.

66' - Zabaleta and then Wright-Phillips clears.

65' - Benitez forces another corner for Birmingham

62' - Almost for Birmingham! Jerome heads just wide from a cross. Good pressure by Vincent Kompany to put him off.

61' - McFadden off for Keith Fahey. Alex McCleish is definitely going to give him a piece of his mind for missing that spot kick.

60' - Stephen Ireland on for De Jong. Tevez's corner is met by a rising Joelon Lescott who heads straight to Taylor.

59' - Another great ball by Tevez to Wright-Phillips on the far right. The England forward squares it in but it's cleared for a corner.

57' - Saved by Given!! Weak penalty to Given's left. Corner for Birmingham. Cleared. What an escape for City!

56' - Penalty for Birmingham! De Jong handles the ball inside the box. McFadden to take it.

55' - Bridge forces himself into the ref's book with a petulant kick when the ball had gone out.

52' - Another City attack, this time from the right. Zabaleta swings it in wickedly. Roger Johnson puts his boot through the ball for a no nonsense clearance.

50' - Bridge on the rampage. Goes all the way upto the opposition box before laying the ball off for Tevez. The forward has plenty of time to line up a shot but shoots high, wide and not so handsome.

47' - Lescott almost gets caught out by a long ball. Good pressure again from Benitez. Given gathers in a hurry.

Half-time score: Birmingham 0-0 Manchester City

ET' - A long cross from Benitez that floats over Larsson's head is the last action of the half. A lack of goals but certainly no lack of excitement at St. Andrews'. Join us again in 15 minutes for the second half!

ET' - Pathetic delivery by Barry. Sails high over Taylor's crossbar.

ET' - City press forward now. Barry can't control the ball in the box and it falls to Tevez who is brought down by Scott Dann. Dann gets a yellow card. City get another good free kick.

43' - How did City escape there?!! Larsson scuff his shot and it falls to Lee Bowyer whose blast is repelled and then gathered by the brilliant Given.

40' - De Jong brings down Larsson and gets a talking to from the ref. Lucky not to get a yellow there.

36' - Free kick for City in a promising area. Promise remains unfulfilled. That's probably the worst free kick Bellamy has taken in his life. And he's taken some really bad ones.

34' - Sebastian Larsson could have put Birmingham one up here! Right through the heart of City's defence. Just couldn't control the ball and Given gathers it easily in the end.

30' - Mayhem in the Birmingham box! A brilliant through ball by Tevez finds Wright Phillips whose petite frame is immediately overwhelmed by a battery of defenders. Ball goes out for a corner in the resulting confusion.

27' - Speculative McFadden shot from miles out forces Given to tip the ball over the cross bar. Goof effort!

27' - Yellow card for Barry Ferguson as he trips Craig Bellamy who is looking to break from Birmingham's corner.

24' - The bald De Jong has a brain freeze. A pass in no man's land results in a Birmingham throw within City's half. Nothing comes of it though.

22' - Flowing City move initiated by Wright-Phillips. Squares the ball to Tevez who lingers before passing it on to Bellamy. His shot is blocked by a Birmingham defender and out for a corner which Birmingham clear easily.

19' - Dipping shot from Wright Phillips from the right lands the Birmingham keeper in trouble. The ball bounces dangerously off his hands and around the penalty box before being cleared by the defence.

16' - Birmingham are pressing Man City brilliantly here. Back pass from Barry forces Given to clear hurriedly as Benitez rushes forward.

14' - Finally City get into the game. Tevez, resplendent in a white hairband, frees Craig Bellamy. Shot blocked by Maik Taylor. City get nothing from the resultant corner.

12' - City are struggling here. Cristian Benitez through on goal but his hurried shot is blocked by Given. City have much to thank their keeper for in the opening exchanges.

9' - Birmingham on fire here! Benitez shoots from just outside the box. Given gets barely a fingertip on it and deflects onto his left post.

7' - Almost a shock start! Barry Ferguson disposseses Gareth Barry and shoots just wide!

Visitors City will be looking to take advantage of yesterday's slip up from both Liverpool and Tottenham, as a win or a draw will see the light blues move into the top four.

Mark Hughes star-studded team will certainly be looking to take all three points after a disappointing run of three consecutive draws in the Premier League.

In contrast, Birmingham will be hoping to build on last week's morale boosting win over Sunderland and move towards the relative safety of mid-table.
