Birmingham boss McLeish: No style change for Arsenal Cup final

Birmingham City boss Alex McLeish knows they're rank outsiders to beat Arsenal in the Carling Cup final.

McLeish admits it will be all about his players getting stuck into the Gunners.

McLeish said: "I know the nucleus of my team and now it's just down to studying videos of Arsenal's latest games for the final touches.

"Being successful in the Carling Cup is as big a task as you could ask for. We are playing a team that beat Barcelona.

"We know how we'll approach it and there's no way we can play like Barcelona unless I get Messi and Xavi on loan.

"So we've got to use our own style and try to upset Arsenal that way."
