Bruce to make changes for Cup clash

Last updated : 23 September 2003 By Brian Cartlidge
While Bruce has confirmed there will not be wholesale changes to the squad that has yet to be beaten in the Premiership season this season, the likes of Aliou Cisse, Clinton Morrison and £2.5 million signing Luciano Figueroa could find themselves in from the start for the 2nd round tie at Bloomfield Road.

“Figueroa will participate in the game at some stage. I’m not going to make wholesale changes but one or two squad players will get a chance," Bruce told the B'ham Post

I can see changes in the back-line too with Ian Bennett possibly coming in for Maik Taylor in goal and Kenny Cunningham given time-off to rest the troublesome groin injury that made him doubtful for last weekends game at Leeds.
