Back in the league, Notts County began to hit Tottenham's record of consecutive victories in the top five European leagues. As long as Notts County can beat Birmingham in the away game, Notts County will be able to tie Tottenham's record.
The game attracted a lot of attention, and Birmingham really tried their best. Even at home, they didn't want to get all three points. They put all their energy on defense, just trying to keep a tie.
However, the huge gap in strength still prevented Birmingham from realizing their wish. Although their tenacious defense prevented Notts County from making a breakthrough in the first half, at the beginning of the second half, taking advantage of Birmingham's failure to enter the defensive state immediately, Notts County made a quick move. The attack was fast, and Suarez completed the raid and scored a goal.

After 11 rounds of the league, Notts County leads the standings strongly. Even though Chelsea, which is ranked second, remains unbeaten, there is already an 8-point gap with Notts County, and because of too many draws, they have been beaten by the team behind them.

However, Chelsea's opponent is the Premier League team. Klinsmann, who was unwilling to give up the League Cup directly, sent a half-main and half-substitute lineup. Although he still won the opponent, it made the team face Notts County. It took a lot of physical energy.
When the two teams faced each other again, there was an amazing spark.
In the eyes of the Notts County players, being robbed of the league title by Chelsea last season is the biggest shame, so this season is their best chance to wash away their shame. They have to win the league title very strongly to prove that they are The strongest team.
