Rafael da Silva's sending off in last weekend's 0-0 draw with Tottenham Hotspur has depleted manager Sir Alex Ferguson's options at right-back. John O'Shea should be back in contention, however, after he featured in the reserves mid-week 8-0 Manchester Senior Cup rout against Bury. Boss Alex McLeish will be without Scott Dann after he confirmed the centre-back is expected to miss the rest of the season with a hamstring tear that requires surgery. Liam Ridgewell will continue to be shuffled inside from left-back.

Birmingham and Barcelona were enjoying vastly differing fortunes ahead of their eagerly-awaited showdown at St. Andrew's. The English club were languishing second from bottom of the First Division and without a win in their previous four fixtures. Pat Beasley's team would have climbed out of the drop zone had they held onto a first half lead given to them by Don Weston in their last game before the European clash away to fellow strugglers Luton Town. But the bottom side rescued a draw courtesy of a penalty leaving Beasley's side in a spot of a bother in the league and hardly the best preparation for taking on what was considered to be the best club team in the world. In contrast Barcelona were fresh from a 3-0 victory over Betis that retained their position at the top of the La Liga table. Helenio Herrera's side were high in confidence, so much so that they turned down Blues' offer of training facilities and instead prepared for the big match with a shopping trip around Birmingham. The size of the challenge that lay ahead for Blues had been brought into sharp focus earlier that month when Barcelona completed a 9-2 aggregate win over reigning English champions Wolves in the European Cup quarter-finals. Winger Harry Hooper admitted to Blues News recently: "After the hammering they gave Wolves at Molineux all the press were saying that we would need the scoreboard from Edgbaston because there would be a lot of goals!" But when asked ahead of the game whether his team were daunted by the prospect of facing the mighty Barca, boss Beasley insisted: "Overawed? Why should we be? We start level with Barcelona…and every team has its day - or night." Blues made one change from the side that had drawn at Kenilworth Road three days earlier with Bryan Orritt earning a recall at outside left in place of Billy Hume. The out-of-favour Welshman had not featured in the team for over three months and looked set to be on his way out of St. Andrew's before this opportunity rose. The 22-year-old was clearly determined to make the most of his chance as he spent the morning of the game doing extra training to ensure peak fitness. Manager Pat Beasley commented: "He is the man I want to fetch and carry in the forward line. Bryan can be useful both in an attacking and defending sense from the inside-left position." Barcelona travelled to the UK without tricky inside-forward Luis Suarez due to injury but otherwise Helenio Herrera's side was at full strength.

  Battu par Everton (0-2) la semaine dernière en championnat, Chelsea accueillait ce samedi Birmingham City en 8e de finale de la Cup avec comme objectif de se racheter. Objectif raté. L’équipe londonienne a enchainé avec une nouvelle contre-performance en concédant le nul (1-1), qui l’oblige à un « replay » dans 10 jours à Sant-Andrews. Un dénouement qui n’arrange pas les affaires d’André Villas-Boas, qui devient de plus en plus menacé à son poste de manager.

Le technicien portugais a pu mesurer à quel point sa côte de popularité était au plus bas lorsque les fidèles de Stamford Bridge se sont mis à scander le nom de José Mourinho. Le Special One étant pressenti pour faire son retour au club à partir de la saison prochaine. Toujours est-il que son jeune compatriote tremble désormais pour son futur et aurait s'inquiéter davantage, si Daniel Sturridge n’avait pas inscrit le but de l’égalisation juste après l’heure de jeu. D’une reprise de la tête, sur un service de Branislav Ivanovic, l’ancien de Bolton inscrivait sa 7e réalisation en six titularisations avec Chelsea en FA Cup. 

Jusqu’à ce but, Birmingham résistait solidement aux assauts des Blues. Les lauréats de la dernière Carling Cup s’accrochaient avec force à l’avance qu’ils ont pris en début du match lorsque David Murphy concrétisait brillamment leur belle entame de partie. Même privés de leur vedette Nikola Zigic, les visiteurs ont donc cru longtemps à l’exploit surtout lorsque Colin Doyle, leur gardien remplaçant, s’était opposé à un pénalty de Juan Mata (22e). Malheureusement, ils n’ont donc pas pu tenir jusqu’au bout. Ils pourront, cela dit, se consoler en disant que le « replay » aura lieu chez eux et que d’ici là, Chelsea va peut-être encore s’enfoncer dans ses doutes puisqu'un déplacement périlleux à Naples l'attend en Ligue des Champions.
