Birmingham boss Alex McLeish has confirmed that Joe Hart will reclaim his place between the posts for Monday's trip to Liverpool despite some erratic performances of late.

The Manchester City loanee was ineligible to play against his parent club last week as veteran Maik Taylor helped the Blues earn a credible 0-0 draw.

Prior to the City clash Hart found himself at fault for the Sunderland goal the previous week that brought about a nervy last few minutes at St Andrews, as McLeish's men managed to hold out for a 2-1 win.

But McLeish admits that he is not one for constantly switching his goalkeepers and has given the England international the nod at Anfield.

"Joe made a mistake in the Sunderland game but he has a lot of other qualities and he has really impressed us," he told The Sun.

"Maybe they are qualities other people don't see, but the trained eye does. I don't want to get into a position where I am chopping the keeper every week when someone makes a mistake."
