Birmingham City and Chelsea 0-0

|
the teams couldn’t make a goal. Premier League leaders Chelsea failed to score for the first time in 34 games as they were frustrated by Birmingham.
Birmingham sit 7th on the table and could very much end 2009 with a bang; breaking into the top 6, so they do have a very strong motive along with high spirits.
The problem is Birmingham never defeated Chelsea in the EPL era. In fact, the Blues of Birmingham City last conquered the Blues of London in the 70-1980 season, and it was at the Bridge, while the last time Birmingham won at home was in an FA Cup fixture 5 seasons earlier.
Carlo Ancelotti’s Chelsea are five points clear at the top the table but have won just once in five games. They will now lose Didier Drogba, Salomon Kalou, Michael Essien and John Mikel Obi to the African Cup of Nations.
