Tottenham Hotspur vs Birmingham City 
The last time we were top of the league with 3 league wins out of 3, we were led by Bill Nicholson and went on to win the Football League Championship and the FA Cup that season. A historic occasion in itself. Yet I strongly suggest to all fans not to think so far ahead for this season. Let's keep a level head and concentrate on each game as it comes.
Spurs entertain a visit from Birmingham this weekend and under 'arry, we've not lost at home since last November. I have to believe that with the international break coming up, a strong first XI will be fielded with the likes Defoe and Keane leading the line upfront again. Modric and Palacios will be back in midfield even though David Bentley had a solid outing against Doncaster in midweek. Cudicini will continue in goal as Gomes is still out injured.
Birmingham has had a good start themselves, making the champions Manchester United work hard for a slim opening day victory, then beating Portsmouth and then drawing with Stoke last weekend. However, they have yet to score from open play this season. Alex McLeish will definitely also want to disrupt the flow that Spurs have been showing on the field (resulting in 13 goals from our first 4 matches in all competitions this season).
Again, barring any strange unforeseen bizarreness, I do believe that we should do well at home and come away with 3 points.
COYS!!!
