Team News

Bristol City
Leicester
  • Joe Williams and Matty James were both absent against West Brom before the international break but should return to the squad on Friday.
  • The former of that duo should start here, while Cameron Pring and Scott Twine could also feature from kick-off.
  • Defender Callum Doyle will miss this game through suspension after he was sent off during the FA Cup quarter-final against Chelsea.
  • Expect James Justin to replace him at left-back, while goalkeeper Mads Hermansen will also return.

Prediction

  • Bristol City had no response to goals from Tom Fellows and Jed Wallace last time out as they were comprehensively beaten on their trip to the Hawthorns. Liam Manning's side are in little danger of being sucked into the relegation battle but have lost five of their last six Championship matches.
  • Just one month ago it seemed unfathomable that Leicester could miss out on the title, let alone promotion, but after just one win from their last five league outings, the Foxes head into gameweek 39 in second place, just one point clear of third-placed Ipswich. While the visitors do have a game in hand, the pressure will continue to build on Enzo Maresca if they fail to win here.
