16.50: Jenas gets a consolation goal for Spurs.

16.47: Blues are starting to show boat now – can they make it an incredible five. The Carling Cup final must seem like an awfully long time ago for the visitors.

16.42: Forssell completes his hat-trick, his first in club football, to make it a day to remember for Blues. Tha St Andrew’s crowd are in full voice.

16.18: Bet Blues wish they could play Spurs every week. It was 3-0 at White Hart Lane now it’s 3-0 at St Andrew’s thanks to Forssell who completes his double.

16.15: Sebastian Larsson doubles Blues’ lead with a free kick from the edge of the area. Looking good for Blues.

16.10: Blues chasing a famous double. Spurs brought on Jenas and Keane at half-time.

15.44: Spurs gradually working their way back into the game and starting to dominate possession.

15.22: Berbatov hits the post for Spurs.

15.19: Blues look to have the upper hand against a much-changed Spurs team. Blues haven’t done the double against the visitors since the 1975/6 season.

15.08: Blues take the lead when Forssell puts it into an empty net from six yards out following good work from McFadden and Ridgewell.

15.06: Blues fans give Martin Taylor a great reception before kick-off. Quiet start to the game though.

14.44: A few pics to keep you interested before kick off. Take a look at football grounds from the air

14.30: The teams are in and Ridgewell is fit to start.

Blues: Maik Taylor, Kelly, Jaidi, Ridgewell, Murphy, Larsson, Johnson, Muamba, McSheffrey, McFadden, Forssell. Subs: Doyle, Jerome, Nafti, Zarate, Parnaby.

Tottenham: Robinson, Hutton, Zokora, Kaboul, Chimbonda, Malbranque, O’Hara, Tainio, Huddlestone, Berbatov, Bent. Subs: Cerny, Jenas, Keane, Lennon, Gunter.

14.00: It’s a north London double for Blues today, Arsenal last week, Spurs today.

No Olivier Kapo for Blues and Liam Ridgewell is a doubt. Team news when we get it.

    the mighty spurs, even with a second team, will be too good for you brummies. We’re not the soft southerners like those south londoners you played last week whilst we were zionngog silveryard.
