Garry Monk will be wanting to alter this Birmingham team ahead of the new season.

Birmingham aren't quite safe, but they would have to be really unlucky to go down on the last day.

Monk has rejuvenated them since he came in with four wins in 10 games, so he needs to be rewarded by being backed in the transfer market in order to help them progress.

Che Adams could be a player moving away in the summer, so that will be something that Monk has to deal with as he alters the team.

Here's how the Blues could lineup under Monk next year without Adams in a 4-4-2 formation which has been used a lot recently...

Stockdale continues as the starter for another season with his Championship experience being important.

Harding has impressed in the right-back role in recent games, so he deserves a long-term run in that role.

Morrison captains the side from the centre of defence. However, Marc Roberts will be providing stiff competition for his role because he has filled in well during Harlee Dean's absence and Morrison is the least reliable of the two.

Dean partners Morrison and he will be hoping to improve significantly on his first season at the club, which has been quite disappointing.

Injuries have reduced hindered Grounds recently, but he has been reliable enough to keep his place in the first-team for next season.

Jota starts on the right and he will be hoping to improve on his first season in a similar manner to Dean because both joined from Brentford in the summer, but have failed to find their previous form.

Gardner is part of an uncompromising midfield two, but he also has the all-round skillset to act as a box-to-box midfielder.

Davis is a versatile midfielder, but in this set-up he is the more defensive-minded of the two midfielders with limited attacking responsibilities because he has to screen the defence.

Maghoma is the main wide threat in the team and he will be important in ensuring that the front two get plenty of service in order to get the best out of this formation.

Selling Adams could bring in quite a bit of money and Birmingham's summer business showed they are well-backed by their owners. Therefore, they could help bring in Hugill to act as the hard working striker who chases down loose balls and acts as the first line of defence, but is also clinical.

Hugill's hard work would enable Marriott to act as the poacher which suits his skillset. He would be the main goalscoring threat of the team with the rest of the side focused on providing service to him.
