Keeper Russell Hoult has been passed fit to play in this saturdays derby game against rivals Birmingham City. 'Houlty', who broke the clubs post-war goalkeeping record by keeping 29 clean-sheets in one season, was a big doubt for the game as he took a 'knock' on his knee during training on Tuesday. Boss Bryan Robson today told the clubs official website: "Russell Hoult is okay,"

"He took a bit of a knock on his knee in training on Tuesday and I just marked Paul Merson's card that if Russell did have a problem then obviously we would have to recall Joe Murphy and he would need to get back-up sorted."
