Birmingham City striker Kevin Phillips will not celebrate if he scores against Sunderland today.

Sunderland’s former favourite will not celebrate if he achieves the feat of 250 goals in front of the "best supporters in the world", especially given the club’s struggle for Premier League survival.

Phillips, 36, who scored 132 goals in 234 games for Sunderland, said: "I scored there once before and didn’t celebrate and I won’t be doing it, even for my 250th if I get it."
