Birmingham City travel to Brighton and Hove Albion this weekend looking to end the Seagulls unbeaten record in the league, which stretches back to the last day of the season.
So far this campaign, Albion are unbeaten in 17 league games, making them the only team in all four divisions to be undefeated so far.
However, Gary Rowett’s men could provide the toughest test for Chris Hughton’s side as Blues currently host the best away record in the league.
Once again I think Rowett will opt to put Nicolai Brock-Madsen up front.
The big striker made his full league debut on Saturday against Charlton Athletic and to be fair to him, he was unlucky not to score as he got into some good positions.
However, would putting him at the tip of the attack ruin our away structure? We are based on a fast counter attacking style of play, something which Brighton may not be used to and I don’t think Brock-Madsen fits into that mould.
Below is the side that I would send out to face Brighton, along with the substitutes.
GK: Kuszczak
RB: Caddis
CB: Spector
CB: Morrison
LB: Grounds
CDM: Kieftenbeld
CDM: Gleeson
RAM: Gray
CAM: Toral
LAM: Maghoma
ST: Brock-Madsen
Subs: Legzdins, Halford, Davis, Shinnie, Solomon-Otabor, Vaughan, Eardley.
As you can see, I have made one change to the side that lost 1-0 at home to Charlton last weekend.
I have brought Maikel Kieftenbeld back into the side ahead of David Davis because I think we are lacking his leadership and hunger in the middle of the park!
Blues fans, what do you make of my predictions? Do you think I am right to put Kieftenbeld back into the team? Let us know your predictions in the comment section down below!
