Rampant Manchester United travel to Birmingham for the live Tuesday evening Premier League match. United are odds on favourites with Paddy Power bookmakers at an industry best price of 8/15, while Birmingham are 11/2 to win at St Andrews, and the draw is 3/1.
Birmingham haven't actually played for the best part of two weeks thanks to the inclement weather and the last match they did play saw them lost to rivals and fellow Premier League strugglers Wolves. They have been far from pleasing on the eye this season and a tally of 17 goals in the league this season and a league position of seventeenth doesn't make for happy reading. Alexander Hleb and James McFadden are out of Tuesday's match, but Craig Gardner remains a bright spark in their midfield. He has scored four goals this term and is industry best priced odds of 6/1 to score anytime with Paddy Power.
It is hard to see Birmingham getting anything out of the game against table topping Manchester United, despite beating last season's champions Chelsea at St Andrews in November. United appear to be moving through the gears as they comfortably overcame Sunderland 2-0 on Boxing Day with Dimitar Berbatov grabbing both goals. The Bulgarian is 9/2 to score first or temptingly his odds of 15/2 to score two or more in the match with PaddyPower.com look good. They will be without Antonio Valencia, Owen Hargreaves, John O'Shea and Paul Scholes for the trip to St Andrews, but Michael Owen should be on the bench.
United have scored first in 70% of their games and led at half time in 70%, while Birmingham have scored 64% of their goals in the second half of games, so a United player to score first is probably the way to go. United have not been behind at half time this season and the double result of a Man Utd win and full time Man Utd win is 13/10 at the moment. United remain unbeaten in the league and have won four matches on the trot, but interestingly have only recorded one win away from Old Trafford.
They look good to add to that tally against a feeble Birmingham attack and their defence should cope comfortably with the impotent Nikola Zigic with the United win to nil currently offered at odds of 13/10 with Paddy Power. The 3-0 win is 9/1 with the same bookmaker and looks good value as United look to confirm their title credentials.
