Birmingham City return to St Andrew's on Monday evening as they host title challengers Leicester City in the Sky Bet Championship. Wayne Rooney's side will be high on confidence following a 1-0 win away at Cardiff City midweek but a tougher test now awaits.
Leicester have lost just three games all season and have won 17 of the remaining 18, putting them top of the league. Ipswich Town are just goal difference behind the Foxes, however, and we all saw how well Blues did against them a month or so ago.
Birmingham will take hope from that result but have to be at their absolute best to claim even a single point, let alone all three. Here are the 11 players we think will start to give Blues the best chance of a positive result.
1. GK: John Ruddy
Ruddy kept his second clean sheet in three games as Blues won at Cardiff midweek.
2. RB: Emanuel Aiwu
Stepped up to the plate with a fine performance in a new right-back role at Cardiff. Drameh remains a doubt, so he’s unlikely to be risked.
3. CB: Dion Sanderson
The skipper put in one of his best performances for the club last time out.
4. CB: Marc Roberts
Roberts has partnered Sanderson recently and done a good job in doing so.
