Gary Lineker introduces live coverage of the Carling Cup semi-final first leg between West Ham and Birmingham. The Hammers will be looking to put their Premier League woes behind them as they target a place in the League Cup final for the first time since 1981. The London club booked their semi-final spot with a 4-0 thumping of holders Manchester United, while 1963 winners Birmingham reached the last four at the expense of arch rivals Aston Villa.
