Good evening everyone, and welcome to LIVE text commentary from the Premier League, where Birmingham host Manchester United in the final game on Bank Holiday Tuesday.

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.

Either the visiting fans are standing close to a microphone, or they are makibng a heck of a racket... that Cantona-themed 'Twelve Days of Christmas' has already had one raucous airing.

Birmingham shout for handball against Evra as he brings the ball out of defence... no dice.

Larsson overlaps down the right and crosses onto the head of Jerome, who nods it well off target. A decent opening for Birmingham, that...

Berbatov locates his first blind alley of the evening and lopes straight down it.

And off we go! Birmingham kick off, playing from left to right as we see it. Both teams are wearing their 'home' kit, which is always nice - albeit with United in black shorts and white socks.

STAT: Manchester United are the only of Birmingham's current 19 Premier League opponents that they have never defeated (since the beginning of the Premier League).

Check out some of the best pictures of the day's action so far

In the Birmingham goal Ben Foster will be particularly keen to shut out his former club. Given Foster's form and Van der Sar expected to retire this summer, will Fergie be regretting letting him go?

Could be a cagey one tonight. There have been only five goals scored in the last four Premier League meetings between Man Utd and the Blues.

That's an interesting move by Sir Alex Ferguson, who is normally very keen to rotate the team and keep it fresh. Even 37-year-old Ryan Giggs plays a second game in 48 hours. Just one change - and an enforced one at that. Park Ji-Sung out, and Darron Gibson replaces him. Birmingham had their game against Everton called off on Boxing Day - they've not played since December 11. A strong-looking team chosen by Alex McLeish as a result, with perhaps the one surprise being Jean Beausejour's inclusion.

TEAMS ARE IN - BIRMINGHAM: Foster, Carr, Johnson, Dann, Ridgewell, Larsson, Ferguson, Gardner, Bowyer, Beausejour, Jerome Subs: Taylor, Phillips, Derbyshire, Fahey, Zigic, Hleb, Jiranek

MANCHESTER UNITED: Van der Sar, Rafael Da Silva, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra, Gibson, Carrick, Anderson, Giggs, Berbatov, Rooney Subs: Kuszczak, Neville, Hernandez, Evans, Fletcher, Obertan, Macheda

TEAM NEWS: Sir Alex Ferguson expects to have Nani available as Manchester United take their 17-match unbeaten Premier League record to Birmingham. Park Ji-Sung is off to the Asian Cup, while Scholes is sure to miss out with a groin problem. On-loan midfielder Alexander Hleb could feature on Birmingham's bench for the match after recovering from a hamstring injury.

It's been another cracking day of Premier League action - one which leaves Manchester City top of the table for the moment.
