Birmingham City will be hoping to get back to winning ways on Saturday against Hull City after their impressive unbeaten run came to an end last weekend. 

A 3-1 loss to Derby County was the Blues' first in 11 matches and saw them drop down to 10th place after encroaching on the playoff places.

They could break into the top six on Saturday with a win against Nigel Adkins' side and with the Tigers struggling in the relegation zone they will be confident.

Striker Lukasz Jutkiewicz has been the star of the show at St. Andrews so far this season with eight goals, five of which arrived in October, earning him the Player of the Month award.

With no fresh injury concerns, Garry Monk has a good selection of players to pick from on Saturday with Jacques Maghoma, Isaac Vassell and David Davis the only absentees.

So it looks like this will be the Birmingham XI tomorrow...

Camp will remain in goal.

He has not been entirely convincing so far this season, after filling in for David Stockdale at the start of the campaign, but is now a settled presence in Monks side.

On the right of defence will be Colin.

The Frenchman has been quietly impressive so far this campaign and there is no reason Monk should drop him at all.

The Blues centre-back pairing has been a crucial part of their success so far this season.

Harlee Dean has been a massive part of that and is currently enjoying the best and most impressive season of his career.

Morrison will, of course, be a long side him.

The pair have been brilliant so far and there is no chance Monk will break them up now.

The club's only permanent summer signing has been beginning to impress recently.

Pedersen has proven to be a very useful presence down the left, adapting to whoever is placed in front of him, being equally impressive in attack as in defence.

On the right of midfield will be Jota.

The Spaniard is the Blues biggest creative threat and has been for a while now.

He is probably the first name on Garry Monk's teamsheet and will 100% be starting tomorrow.

Another important pairing is found in the centre of midfield.

One half of that comes in the form of Villa loanee Gary Gardner who the fans have taken to perhaps surprisingly well.

Next to him will be the equally reliable Kieftenbeld.

He keeps things neat and tidy in the middle which allows Gardner to push forward and be a bit more creative.

He will definitely be starting.

The Bournemouth loanee will continue on the left in Maghoma's absence.

He has been impressive since coming into the squad and grabbed his first goal for the club against Sheffield Wednesday two weeks ago.

Monk's favourite strike pairing will make it an unchanged side.

Adams has impressed on occasion so far this season and will need to start adding more goals to his game.

But he has formed a decent pairing up front.

And he will, of course, join Jutkiewicz in attack.

The striker has been on brilliant form so far this season and scored five goals in October alone.

It is simply unthinkable that he would be dropped.
