Good afternoon and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Birmingham's Premier League clash against Blackpool at St Andrews.

The hosts hit on the counter attack and the ball ends up being headed out to Fahey, whose attempted toe poke chip floats well over the bar.

A chance opens up for DJ Campbell but his skiddy shot is taken well by Foster.

Blackpool are trying to build a move patiently, and are keeping the ball well.

Just one goal to report elsewhere, as Fulham have gone ahead at West Brom.

Bright sunshine when we kicked off but rain has now started tipping down at St Andrews.

Charlie Adam shoves Fahey over while standing, quite literally, 18 inches in front of the referee. Perhaps the most blatant foul of the season!

That's a second good chance for the hosts missed in the space of a couple of minutes.

O'Connor sets up Fahey for a shot from the edge of the box with the Blackpool defence in bits, but the Blues midfielder pulls his shot wide left.

O'Connor is furious with himself - what a way that would have been to celebrate his recovery from injury.

UNBELIEVABLE MISS BY O'CONNOR! The Birmingham striker is released with a great ball and is through one-on-one.... but takes too long and gets tackled by Cathcart without even pulling the trigger!

The replay of Gilks managing to save that deflected shot a few mintes ago only makes it seem all the more incredible - or perhaps lucky - that he got behind it.

Birmingham come up the other end and win a corner, it's headed clear confidently by Ian Evatt.

Blackpool have a penalty shout as Ridgewell seems to handball, but referee says no.

Stunning save by Gilks! A speculative long-range effort by Zigic takes the sort of deflection that normally means goal but the Blackpool keeper adjusts mid-dive to take it brilliantly.

Harewood is released into the corner of the box by Taylor-Fletcher, but the veteran striker's shot is feebler than an asthmatic kitten and the ball trundles off the field.

The corner comes to nothing thanks to some effective but worryingly arm-flapping keeping from Gilks.

Sebastian Larsson lines up to take it - and it's a fine effort, just over the bar with Gilks making it safe by tipping it over!

Replays suggest contact was minimal, but lucky for the visitors it's not a penalty... free kick just outside the edge...

Trouble for Blackpool! Eardley trips Fahey just outside the box and is booked!

Blackpool hit on the break, with Gary Taylor-Fletcher's cross finding David Vaughan ni the box - Vaughan has a free header from seven yards but nods it straight at Foster.

An error from Luke Varney almost opens up an early chance for Birmingham but Keith Fahey can't find the target.
