In-form Birmingham City welcome West Ham United to St. Andrew's on Saturday with both teams chasing three points to aid their differing battles at opposite ends of the Premier League table.City have crept up into ninth place on the back of an excellent run of results that ED Hardy Series has brought about three successive wins - against Fulham, Wolverhampton Wanderers and more recently at Wigan Athletic - and they remain undefeated in six, picking up an impressive 14 points from a possible 18.On the contrary, Gianfranco Zola's men sit just one place outside the relegation zone with just three wins to their name all season. Saturday's 4-0 home reversal against Manchester United has left a lot of Hammers fans frowning and, with a debilitating injury list, the woes go on.Midfielder Mark Christian Audigier Noble and goalkeeper Robert Green have contracted a virus and they face a race against time to be fit for the weekend.Youngster Zavon Hines has injured a knee while Luis Jimenez (groin) and Matthew Upson (hamstring) are big doubts.Long-term absentees Dean Ashton and Luis Boa Morte remain sidelined as does Calum Davenport, while England striker Carlton Cole has already been ruled out until January with a knee problem.Beleaguered boss Zola's troubles don't seem to be subsiding and he could do with some money to splurge in the January transfer window if he is to get his team out of the mire they find themselves in.Alex McLeish's Blues outfit are riding the crest of the wave at the moment and he will be hoping for this to continue over the festive period.With another home clash against Blackburn Rovers to come before a trip to Everton and title-chasing Chelsea coming to town, the Blues have an excellent opportunity to consolidate their unlikely European charge.They remain without injury victims Kevin Phillips and Martin Taylor (both ankle), Teemu Tainio and David Murphy (both knee), Garry O'Connor (hip) and Stuart Parnaby (back).Affliction High-flying Tottenham Hotspur will take on Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday and, on paper, this is a fixture they have to win.Harry Redknapp's boys will be wounded beasts after they let a two-goal lead slip at Everton on Sunday and there was still time for Premier League hot-shot Jermain Defoe to miss a vital spot-kick to win the game at the death.However, the north London outfit do not sit in fourth place for no reason.They remain undefeated in their last four league games, a run that included a 9-1 thumping of Wigan Athletic and, with Wolves locked in the relegation zone, they should be confident of inflicting further damage.Another win would cement their place in the top-four ahead of Aston Villa, who are breathing down their neck.Mick McCarthy's side will be buoyant after their win against Bolton Wanderers at the weekend but Spurs should be a completely different proposition at White Hart Lane.With Women's clothing talent in the form of Robbie Keane, Peter Crouch, Wilson Palacios, Niko Kranjcar, Jermaine Jenas and Aaron Lennon to help support 12-goal star Defoe, they should have too much for their Midlands opponents.The narrow 2-1 win against Bolton halted a miserable run for the Molineux-based club. They accumulated just three draws from the eight games prior to last weekend and that is certainly relegation form.Central defensive pair Jonathan Woodgate and Ledley King will still be missing for Spurs through groin and hamstring injuries respectively.Luka Modric's rehabilitation from his broken leg continues to gather pace while motorcycle crash victim Carlo Cudicini is out for the season.McCarthy's talismanic wide-man Michael Kightly continues to be sidelined by an ankle injury alongside Chris Iwelumo, who is struggling to overcome a broken foot.The unfortunate Matt Murray is gearing up for another long spell out with more knee problems while Ronald Zubar is missing with a thigh strain.

Kids Classic Boot The United manager said of City's progress this season, having splashed the cash during the summer: "It's difficult to assess that because you don't know what ambitions the players have. "Currently we've got [Ryan] Giggs, [Paul] Scholes and [Gary] Neville taking their coaching badges. That's great and I encourage them to do that because it gives them a platform if they want to stay in the game. "It can be difficult to pinpoint who would make it as a manager. For instance, nobody here thought Mark Hughes would become a manager, never in a million years, and we all thought Bryan Robson was a certainty to be a top manager."

But it was against Bolton that 26-year-old Milijas showed his real quality in creating another goal for Craddock and scoring with a stunning 20-yard strike himself. McCarthy said: "It is a case of 'welcome to the team on a regular basis' if Nenad plays like that. "That was the level of performance I want from Nenad. It is what I saw, it is what I thought I saw, when I was interested in signing him. UGG Classic Short 5825 "We have seen his quality. He was one of my big signings in the summer. He is going to the World Cup with Serbia next summer. He has captained Red Star Belgrade. "If I get that level of performance, he is inked onto the team sheet and he will be a regular in my side. "If I don't, he doesn't play - and that is the same with everybody." McCarthy is looking for his side to build on their first win in nine Premier League games. He said: "What happened last weekend was just a small step in the right direction. We needed a win. "The mood was getting slightly down and dejected and I could understand that. "But we need everyone to stick together to have any chances of surviving in this league and prospering as a football club - and we have all stuck together."Air Jordan 4 Fusion Air Jordan 6 Fusion Air Jordan 9 Fusion Women's clothing

Steve Bruce warns inept Sunderland to produce improved displayBruce accused his players of incompetence when they lost 1-0 to Wigan last weekend and has challenged them to buck up their ideas at Craven Cottage on Sunday. "It was an awful performance and I can only apologise to the fans and say to them that make no mistake, we will be better at Fulham, because I can't stomach seeing a team of mine perform as ineptly as they did at Wigan," Bruce said. Women's clothing Related ArticlesLorik Cana: Sunderland need consistencyMan arrested over Bent claim"There was no spark, no drive, no determination, nothing. We just performed ineptly and the really galling thing is that if we had performed anywhere near our potential, we would have got something out of that game. "Whenever we throw in a performance like that, it sets us back and it always seems to be the same at Sunderland that we produce a great performance and then fail to follow up. It's not something I'm going to be satisfied with." Sunderland have been formidable at home in the Premier League this season, with victories over Liverpool and Arsenal, but on their travels they have been a soft touch and have won just once at Bolton and managed a 2-2 draw at Manchester United. "I can't stomach the sort of performance we saw at Wigan, like the one we saw at Birmingham or for much of the game at Burnley, because those results end up catching up with you," Bruce continued. Erin-Baby Bootie "This is the frustrating part of it. We could have been doing so much better if we'd just turned in a half-decent performance in some of these games we'd be a lot better off points wise."

Kids Classic Boot "Defeats are part and parcel of football, so it's got nothing to do with that, or with the game being against my old club. It's all about how poorly we performed on the day.

"That way you can leave and say ?uro;˜well, it wasn't our day' ?uro;' like we did after the recent game at Tottenham.

UGG extra A5815 "The players have been impressive in training this week and if we had played against Wigan as well as we've trained in the last couple of days, then it would have been a completely different story," Bruce said. "But that's only a start, you have to take that form you have in training into the games themselves. Last week was hurtful and the only way we're going to be able to move on is with a vastly improved performance against Fulham. "But I don't want to take too much away from my players because overall they've done well this season and I think they're hurting too.
