Karanka has spent close to a million on Leko every other signing was a free, Clayton, Friend, Toral, Sanchez, Prieto, San Jose (he'll be lost lateral thinking on that one, just for oldies)

HEAD TO HEAD

First meeting in 1894 when as Small Heath they won at Deepdale 1-0, City's last victory in 2001 they won 2-0, my first ever game 6/4/1968 0-0 for what it's worth that will be the score tomorrow

MACS VIEW

With the forecast for an utter deluge the chances of escaping watching this are reducing by the minute, apparently a few of them were ill before the game last Wednesday, Bauer apparently gave a technicolour yawn in the home dressing room at half time. 360 minutes without inding the net at Deepdale against a Birmingham side under Aitor who will play 10 at the back.
Hopefully the crab like football which has been witnessed in the last four home games will be replaced by a vibrant attacking display as if.
City fresh from a late winner against Huddersfield will look to build on that Lucas J is back more than a useful forward this promises to be a massively dull game.
