Plymouth Arg. travel to take on Birmingham City at St. Andrew's on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Pilgrims will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 10 and win only 3 of the 17 games.
The last time the two teams met at Birmingham C. was more than a decade ago, in August 1995, the Blues carving out a narrow 1 - 0 victory in a League Cup match.
