History of the Tottenham Hotspur v Birmingham City fixture

Tottenham H. prepare to entertain Birmingham City at White Hart Lane on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Spurs are clearly on top, having won 27 and lost only 8 of the 43 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at White Hart Lane was less than a year ago, in January 2004, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4-1 thriller, in a Premiership match.
