Chris Davies faces test of nerve – Birmingham City predicted XI vs Lincoln City

Birmingham City manager Chris Davies faces key selection choices ahead of their Championship clash against Lincoln City following a lackluster performance against Cardiff City. Brian Dick reports that Davies is unlikely to deviate significantly from his preferred setup, projecting a 4-2-3-1 formation featuring a settled defense of James Beadle, Bright Osayi-Samuel, Phil Neumann, Christoph Klarer, and Alex Cochrane.

Dick highlights the primary lineup dilemma in attack, noting uncertainty over whether striker August Priske will be fit to start. The writer anticipates Luis Vazquez could lead the line if Priske is sidelined, supported by Jay Stansfield, Liam Millar, and Carlos Vicente, with Tomoki Iwata and Jhon Solis anchoring the midfield.
