West Ham's final match of the 2002/03 Premiership season - the visit to Birmingham - will be screened live on Sky TV, the satellite channel revealed earlier today.

Sky announced earlier today that they will be screening the Hammers visit to St.Andrews live, on Sunday 11th May 2003.

And with both teams currently struggling at the wrong end of the Premiership table that game could turn out to be a relegation decider.

Birmingham, pre-season favourites for relegation currently lie 13th in the Premiership. However the difference between 13th and the relegation positions is currently just 6 points.

The match will be the 12th live appearance for the Hammers during the current season. Two weeks ago Sky revealed that the forthcoming games with Arsenal (away) and Liverpool (home) will also be covered for live TV.

The Birmingham fixture - originally scheduled for a 4pm start - will now kick off an hour earlier, at 3 o'clock.
