Birmingham City is set to make a triumphant return to St Andrew’s on Monday evening as they take on title contenders Leicester City in the Sky Bet Championship. Despite a tough test awaiting them, Wayne Rooney’s side is riding high on confidence after securing a 1-0 victory against Cardiff City midweek.
Leicester City, who have only lost three games this season and won 17 out of 18, currently sit at the top of the league. However, Ipswich Town is right behind them in goal difference. The Blues previously had a strong performance against Ipswich Town, giving Birmingham hope for a positive result.
To secure a win or even a draw, the Birmingham City squad will need to bring their A-game. The starting 11 players we believe will give the Blues the best chance of a positive outcome are as follows:
- GK: John Ruddy
Ruddy showcased his skills with a second clean sheet in three games during the victory over Cardiff. - RB: Emanuel Aiwu
Aiwu delivered an impressive performance in a new right-back role at Cardiff and is likely to retain the position due to Drameh’s uncertain status. - CB: Dion Sanderson
The captain displayed one of his top-notch performances in the last game. - CB: Marc Roberts
Partnering with Sanderson recently, Roberts has done an exceptional job.
