FULL TIME! What a comeback from Birmingham, who survive going two goals down thanks to a clinical second-half display. Alex McLeish's men are already in the League Cup final, can they keep going in the FA Cup? Credit to Watford, who took the game to their Premier League hosts, but they were just outclassed in the end.

There goes the whistle at Birmingham, and Alex McLeish won't be at all happy with that first half display. The first goal swung the momentum firmly behind Coventry, and Bentley's goal for 2-1 will be of little comfort to the home crowd. Coventry deservedly lead at half time

GOAL! MARLON KING PUTS COVENTRY AHEAD AGAINST THE RUN OF PLAY AT BIRMINGHAM! Nikola Zigic and Kevin Phillips have both come close to opening the scoring for Birmingham, but Marlon King needed just one chance to put his side ahead - working a yard of space in the right channel and firing a low shot neatly across the face of goal and inside Doyle's right-hand post
