EPL Round 24: Sunderland AFC vs Birmingham City FC
By: Lucas |New signing Phil Bardsley slots right into the starting IX today at the SOL, moving McShane once again to the bench. Our backline looks strong, potentially as good as the defense that shut out Pompey a couple weeks ago: Bardsley and Danny Collins with Nyron and Jonny Evans in the center.

New Blood
