Team News

Bristol City
Birmingham
  • Nigel Pearson could make two changes to the midfield that started against Millwall last time out with Anis Mehmeti and Kal Naismith stepping into the starting XI.
  • Austrian forward Andi Weimann has an outside chance of featuring on Saturday, but Tommy Conway remains sidelined.
  • John Eustace looks set to opt for an unchanged starting XI for the trip to Ashton Gate with Scott Hogan keeping his place ahead of last weekend's substitute match-winner, Lukas Jutkiewicz.
  • George Hall and Tyler Roberts are both doubtful for the visitors after the pair missed the visit of Leeds last Saturday.

Prediction

  • Bristol City were the more dangerous of the two sides at The Den last time out but were forced to wait until the 93rd minute to get their reward when midfielder Matty James scored the only goal of the game. Nigel Pearson's are unbeaten in their first three games in all competitions this season.
  • The good feeling around Birmingham City continues to build and grow. The Blues scored in stoppage time against recently relegated Leeds last time out to avoid kicking their Championship campaign off with back-to-back draws. Like their hosts, John Eustace's men are unbeaten in all competitions this season as things stand.
