Birmingham veteran Phillips confident of getting goals in Premiership

Birmingham City veteran striker Kevin Phillips is confident he'll get goals in the Premiership.

"Of course I still believe I can play at the top otherwise I wouldn't be here," said Phillips. "I signed a two-year contract when I joined and the aim was always to get back into the Premier League and play there again.

"We've definitely got the players to stay up, it's just about trying to find that formation, that consistency, and settling down, which I'm sure will happen.

"For me, the first game of the season is a good start for us.

"Everyone says 'ohh, Manchester United away' but I'd rather it be that than Wolves at home because the pressure would then be straight on you.

"We go to Old Trafford and there's no pressure on us, no-one is going to give us hope in hell's chance.

"Newcastle went there last year and nicked a 1-1 draw, Reading the year before as well.

"We are all looking forward to going to Old Trafford."
