Prediction

  • The misery continued for Wayne Rooney and Birmingham last time out as they were well-beaten by Russell Martin's in-form Southampton side. The former Derby and DC United manager has endured a nightmare start to his time at St. Andrew's, losing each of his first three games in charge.
  • Ipswich were once again the better side last weekend as they beat fellow newly promoted side Plymouth 3-2 at Portman Road. The away side have dropped just five points from 13 games this season and head into this weekend's fixtures nine points clear of third-placed Leeds with a game in hand.
