Sports Mole takes a look at Saturday's Championship clash between Birmingham City and Brighton & Hove Albion.

Brighton & Hove Albion travel to St Andrew's on Saturday looking to kickstart their season following defeat in all three of their games under new manager Oscar Garcia.

The Seagulls lost late to Leeds United on the opening day and blew another lead at home to Derby Count last weekend, while in the meantime they suffered a 3-1 humbling at home to Newport County in the League Cup.

Nikola Zigic scored a late equaliser in this fixture in January, maintaining an unbeaten run against Brighton that stretches four games.

The Blues bounced back from their first-day defeat against Watford by beating Championship newcomers Yeovil Town at Huish Park.
