Can Brum stop Anelka?

Question

Chelsea striker Nicholas Anelka is currently in the form of his life. Will he continue where he left off against Preston at the weekend, or can Birmingham's resolute back-four stop him in his tracks?

Answer 1

They will certainly have their work cut out. However, of late, the Birmingham back-four have proved a tough nut to crack. If they can keep the Blues at bay for the opening stages, and get the home crowd on the players' backs, they will have a big chance. Their task is made slightly easier with the absence of Didier Drogba.
