Aston Villa prepare to entertain Birmingham City at Villa Park on Sunday evening, and hold the advantage on previous meetings between the two. Of the 54 games played, Villans have recorded 26 wins, and Birmingham C. have come away with 13 victories.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Villa Park was less than a year ago, in February 2004, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a Premiership match.
