Birmingham City face a Sky Bet Championship six-pointer this Saturday as they travel away to Millwall at The Den in London.
Club legend Lukas Jutkiewicz rescued a heroic point away at play-off challengers Hull City on Tuesday night but there's still so much to do before Blues can feel any element of safety. Millwall, one point ahead in 18th, are in a similar situation and will be just as desperate to pick up maximum points this weekend.
There are several selection dilemmas for stand-in manager Mark Venus in all areas of the field as Birmingham are struggling to find any real consistency at the moment. Changes are likely in defence as Dion Sanderson's ban continues, while rotation can be expected in midfield and attack to freshen things up.
With that in mind, here are the 11 players we predict will start this weekend, as well as brief explanations for every inclusion.

Buchanan just about edges into the team ahead of Cody Drameh, with Laird at right-back. The trio are in hot competition for two spots. | Getty Images
6. CM: Paik Seung-ho
The South Korean will probably come back in for Ivan Sunjic, who failed to take his opportunity midweek. He’s an all-rounder but he’s gone a little missing at times. | Getty Images
7. CM: Andre Dozzell
Dozzell has had a couple of poor games in a row but he’s formed a decent partnership with Paik. He’s also good from set pieces. | Getty Images
8. CAM: Alex Pritchard
Pritchard delivered the terrific cross to assist Lukas Jutkiewicz’s equalising header at Hull. The winter signing should be starting games now he’s back to sharpness. | Getty Images
