Kevin Phillips has already haunted Swansea City once this season with a quickfire double at the Liberty that gave Birmingham all the points last month.
And today the Swans are handed a chance of revenge when they try to put seven successive draws behind them and return to winning ways for the first time in over six weeks.
Winger Tom Butler though knows who the dangerman is for the Blues and has warned the Swans not to take Phillips lightly in the return fixture.
โPhillips only came on for 20 minutes against us last month but he ended up scoring two in five minutes and changed the game,โ said Butler in today’s Wales on Sunday.
โHalf the battle will be stopping him โ you canโt let someone like him have the slightest half-chance.
โHe drifts into the box and always seems to have space, and when the ball lands at his feet, he finishes time and time again.
โHeโs a natural goalscorer, and he keeps proving that every season wherever he goes.
โI suppose thatโs the difference between the top sides and the rest โ they’ve got the money to pay top-class strikers like him.
โWe know our defence are going to have to be even better than they were against Coventry on Boxing Day.
โBirmingham are a top side, theyโve got Premier League players and weโll have to come fast out of the traps to have a chance
โBut itโll be no different โ weโre just going to go and play the way we have been.
โYes, itโs frustrating at the moment.
โWe need to start converting our chances and, against Birmingham, weโll have to be even more clinical because weโll probably get fewer chances.
โIf we were struggling and just happy with a draw, itโd be different.
โBut weโre playing teams off the park so itโll have to turn around eventually.
โAnd if we apply ourselves the way we have been, thereโs no reason why we canโt beat any team in the league.
โThe manager has said to us, โDonโt panic, itโll comeโ.
โBut maybe in the first half against Coventry we were a bit eager to try and thread that final ball, and we took an extra pass when we probably didnโt need to.
โWe knew there wasnโt another game at home for three weeks, so we were really hoping to get a win.
โThe last couple of games Iโve had a lot of the ball out wide, and itโs frustrating for me personally not to pick people out with a killer cross.
โBut thereโs no better feeling than playing the top sides and beating them.
โThis is a great game for us โ and if we go there and get a result, it would be fantastic.โ
