It`s now almost certain that tonight`s UEFA cup tie against Atletico Madrid will be played in front of a full house. The combination of reduced ticket prices, the absence of live TV and a prolonged marketing campaign has led to the first capacity crowd for a couple of seasons.
Gary Cahill, who Birmingham are still whinging bitterly about, will make his UEFA cup debut, as will Matt Taylor, while Ivan Campo is also included in the squad after being omitted for the previous stage of the competition. Heidar Helguson (AKA Quinton Fortune II) is doubtful and Joey O`Brien is still sidelined with a hamstring injury.
Accomplished diver, Jose Antonio Reyes and striker Diego Forlan will feature for the visitors, but it is thought that Argentina international Sergio Aguero will be rested.
