Phillips admits Birmingham need huge performance against Spurs

Birmingham City veteran Kevin Phillips admits they need a special performance today against Tottenham.

Phillips has challenged City to emulate their performance in winning the Carling Cup against Arsenal against Spurs.

He said: "For me, and for us, it is like the Carling Cup final now.

"No-one gave us any chance against Arsenal on a big pitch at Wembley but we believed we could do it.

"Although it took a mistake for us to win it, it doesn't matter, and on our overall performance we deserved to win the game and that's how we've got to approach Sunday.

"That's how we've got to play. Every player stepped up to the plate and that is what we need on Sunday."
