Birmingham City are in action for their first home Championship game of the 2023/24 season as they take on Leeds United on Saturday afternoon.
John Eustace and his men will come into this one with heaps of confidence after an impressive 1-1 draw at Swansea City and a 2-0 win at Cheltenham Town.
Leeds are of course one of the best teams in the entire division, though, so Blues will have to be wary and perhaps set up a little cautiously.
With that in mind, we think Birmingham will go for a four-back defence, with a couple of rotations to ensure they are as solid as possible.
Flick through the pages to see all 11 players we have picked, as well as brief explanations for each inclusion.
1. GK: Neil Etheridge
Kept a clean sheet in the cup and is expected to play again with John Ruddy’s future up in the air.
2. RB: Ethan Laird
Has been back in training this week and Eustace is hopeful he will be fully fit for Saturday. Comes in for Marcel Oakley.
3. CB: Kevin Long
Forming a good partnership with Sanderson at the moment and the Irishman will be keen to build momentum.
4. CB: Dion Sanderson
As impressive as ever against Cheltenham. Seems to be thriving with the captain’s armband.
