Tony Mowbray rejects the idea that Sunderland's free midweek hands them an advantage over Birmingham City ahead of tonight's televised game at St Andrew's. Birmingham were in action on Tuesday evening, with a last-minute Troy Deeney goal earning them a 2-2 draw at home to Swansea City, while the Black Cats had no fixture this week with their most recent game seeing them face Cardiff City last Saturday.
After the game on Tuesday, Blues boss John Eustace hit out at the schedulers saying: "It's not right - we play too many games in a short period of time. "To go again on Friday now, with Sunderland not playing this week, it's poor."
But Mowbray feels there is no great advantage to his side. "I don't think so," he said.
