Birmingham 0 - 0 Chelsea

Premier League leaders Chelsea failed to score for the first time in 34 games as they were frustrated by Birmingham.

Joe Hart made two stunning first-half saves to keep out Daniel Sturridge's low shot and Frank Lampard's drive.
Alex smashed a 35-yard free-kick against the bar, while Sturridge steered Didier Drogba's cross wide.
Chucho Benitez had a goal ruled out for offside and Sebastian Larsson's free-kick was saved by Petr Cech before Florent Malouda was sent off late on.
The Frenchman was shown a second yellow card for a challenge on Stephen Carr and his early exit summed up Chelsea's disappointment.
The visitors created enough chances to win the game and will feel they have dropped two points - handing rivals Manchester United and Arsenal a chance to make up ground when they play on Sunday.
Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti has now seen his side win only once in their last seven games.

And with the likes of strikers Didier Drogba and Salomon Kalou now heading to the Africa Cup of Nations, the Italian will be concerned that their poor run could continue for a while yet.

In contrast, Birmingham have now stretched their unbeaten run to 10 matches - courtesy of yet more resolute defending and their eighth clean sheet of the season.

However, at times they were hanging on as Chelsea craved out chances to score.

Branislav Ivanovic headed over from a corner, Juliano Belletti nodded a chance into the side netting and Drogba fired over as Chelsea dominated early on.

And it took a superb save from Hart, diving to his left, to prevent Sturridge from scoring his first goal for Chelsea on his first Premier League start.
