Birmingham City striker Mikael Forssell is confident he can find the goals to keep the club up.

Manager Alex McLeish has talked enthusiastically about Forssell's sharpness and his track record in the Premier League.

That's why he has edged out Garry O'Connor and Cameron Jerome again as McFadden's front partner.

"I can live up to that belief of the gaffer," declared Forssell. "I have been confident all season and I'm just hoping for a proper chance.

"Hopefully this (coming off so early against Arsenal) won't restrict me and I am sure Saturday will be different because we are not going to be starting with 10 men."
