History of the Tottenham Hotspur v Birmingham City fixture
Blues face Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Blues will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 27 and win only 8 of the 43 games at Tottenham.
The most recent Premiership encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in January 2004, when Spurs eased past the Blues in a high-scoring 4-1 thriller.
