History of the Manchester City v Birmingham City fixture
Blues face a trip to Manchester City for their first ever game at The City of Manchester Stadium on Sunday afternoon, and have come away with little in previous away meetings with City, having been beaten a depressing 44 out of 63 times.
The most recent encounter between these two sides on Manchester soil was less than a year ago, in March 2003, the Sky Blues carving out a narrow 1 - 0 victory in a Premiership match .. view report
