10' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
15' Blackburn Rovers FC is showing some good football. However, Blackburn Rovers FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.

27' Blackburn Rovers FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Birmingham City FC backline.
