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.
9. RW: Koji Miyoshi
Miyoshi, arguably the team's best creative force, didn’t play at all at MKM Stadium. He’ll probably rotate back in against Millwall. | Getty Images
10. LW: Juninho Bacuna
The Curaçaoan was Blues’ best player in the defeat to Southampton and the best of a bad bunch in midfield at Hull. Siriki Dembele, meanwhile, has been uninspiring. | Getty Images
11. ST: Jay Stansfield
Stansfield, who has 10 Championship goals this term, was rested for much of the trip to Hull but he’s expected to return to the starting lineup. | Getty Images
