Manchester City midfielder Gareth Barry is happy for two of his former teammates doing so well with Birmingham City.

Barry will be facing former Villa team-mates Liam Ridgewell and Craig Gardner, and is expecting both to make life difficult for him and the rest of the City team.

He said: "They've both done really well because it's a brave move for any player to transfer to your deadly rivals. It hadn't happened for years, but they've settled in to become two of their most consistent players.
