Lukas Jutkiewicz's 40th-minute goal sank his old club and lifted the Blues level on points with Wanderers, five points clear of the bottom three.

Birmingham have won their last three games, keeping a clean sheet on each occasion, but Monk is not taking anything for granted.

"We knew it was a massive game against a team who were directly above us," said Monk.

"We knew it was an opportunity to try and claw them closer to us and pull them into this relegation fight.

"What the three wins in a row have done is keep boosting the belief. However, I am very mindful we are still very much in a relegation fight.

"It is going to change week-to-week but what we want to be is a team that hunts for the guys above us rather than checking over our shoulders all the time.

"We still need more wins and more points."

Burton - 1/33
