Domestic football returns this weekend after the international break and Birmingham City will be looking to continue their superb run of form.
Garry Monk’s side have tasted defeat just once in the past 13 Championship matches, although there is certainly room for improvement still after losing to Derby and drawing with Hull prior to the international break.
A highly-anticipated clash with arch-rivals Aston Villa awaits this weekend, with Birmingham making the short trip across the city to play at Villa Park – a ground where recent history has been stacked against them.
With a thrilling run of form and promotion hopes starting to rise, fans are confident that the forgetful run at the home of their rivals can be ended this week and many have reminisced on social media ahead of the clash.
Supporters were asked for their favourite Blues moments from previous matches at Villa Park and plenty of supporters jumped at the opportunity to have their say. We have gathered some of their comments below.
