Birmingham City to extend their home run

Alex McLeish has an opportunity to add the impressive boast of leading Birmingham for over a year without a home loss to a CV that already features SPL titles, a win over France in Paris and a Champions League last 16 appearance if they avoid defeat to Wigan in one of tomorrow's tasty 3pm games...

Arsenal v West Brom
All signs point to an Arsenal victory at [1.23] - they've won 18 of their last 22 league games at the Emirates and Monday is the two-year anniversary of West Brom's last travelling top-flight triumph. The Baggies haven't lost by a margin of three goals or more in any of their last ten clashes with Arsene Wenger's men though so a brave punt on under 2.5 goals at [2.92] could be rewarded.

Birmingham v Wigan
This is the final hurdle that Birmingham must overcome in order to complete an incredible year unbeaten in front of their own fans and while Wigan have been party poopers on numerous occasions under Roberto Martinez, the Latics have never before won at St Andrew's. The [1.88] offered on the home win here looks like one of the best prices available anywhere this weekend.

Blackpool v Blackburn
Blackburn have won only three of their last 25 Premier League away matches, while Blackpool last lost at Bloomfield Road in February. The Seasiders were the only top-flight club not in Carling Cup action and that rest could come in handy against Blackburn, who used over half the players that featured in last week's draw against Fulham in their loss to Aston Villa. Back the hosts at [3.35].
