MONDAY

Liverpool v Birmingham

With all the talk surrounding Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez's position at the moment, what are the odds on Birmingham's namesake striker Christian grabbing the winner? You can see the headlines now - "Benitez sinks Benitez".

That said, I don't think that will happen. Liverpool's performance in their Champions League draw with Lyon in midweek was hugely encouraging, and with Birmingham's struggles away from home this season in mind, I see the Reds returning to winning ways.

I don't think Liverpool fans need appeasing over Benitez. Good managers - and he is a good manager - are hard to find and they will give him time. When Steven Gerrard, Alberto Aquilani and Fernando Torres are fully fit, Liverpool will be a completely different prospect.

Verdict: 2-0
