30'
Vidic gets done for pace by Jerome and hacks him to the ground. Ferdinand was covering so that's just a yellow card.
29'
Loose pass from Berbatov, who rolls it straight out for a Birmingham throw.
28'
Ridgewell's cross from the left loops up off a defender and Van der Sar claims it.
27'
Referee Lee Mason beckons Anderson and Gardner over and books them both. Silly stuff.
26'
Anderson clashes with Ferguson, then Gardner wades in pushing and shoving... bit of a fuss about nothing really.
24'
Rafael tries to overlap down the right but finds a Beausejour-shaped object in his way, ushering the ball out for a goal kick.
23'
Foster got a touch on that Giggs cross that hit the bar, by the way, but he wouldn't have had to make the save had he not got in a pickle to start with.
22'
Larsson hits it up and over the bar, not a great effort.
21'
Chance for Birmingham in the shape of a free-kick at the edge of the box following a Carrick foul...
20'
There's a very persistent announcement coming over the PA system. I imagine that if the person in question were in the ground they would have heard it by now.
19'
That was more like the Ben Foster who used to play for Manchester United... iffy judgement from the keeper.
18'
OFF THE POST!! Giggs's cross from the right clears Foster and clatters back off the far post! No, he didn't mean it.
17'
Oh my. Rooney gets a long shot all wrong and puts it several fathoms high and wide to the right.
16'
Evra crosses from the left but it is a poor one, and Johnson boots it to safety.
15'
United pass it around but Birmingham have 10 men behind the ball and are very well organised. It does take a bit of patience to break them down.
13'
The opening exchanges have been preety steady. Birmngham's Boxing Day fixture was postpones so they ought to be a bit fresher, for what it's worth.
12'
Rooney jinks inside from the left and opens his body to shoot... Foster saves!
10'
Berbatov just carries the ball out of play as United look to break.
9'
Rooney has started out wide on the left as United play a 4-5-1 formation. Still no Nani tonight, remember.
8'
Rooney tries a long-range effort that he curls a yard wide of the left-hand post.
7'
Birmingham are in the bottom three and have not been good this season... a second relegation in four seasons could be on the cards unless they pick it up.
