Team News

Bristol City
Stoke
  • Nigel Pearson could make two changes to the side that faced Leicester at the King Power Stadium with Taylor Gardner-Hickman and Andreas Weimann both returning to the starting XI.
  • The Robins will be without four first-team players due to injuries this weekend.
  • Ben Pearson served a one-match suspension when Stoke hosted Hull last weekend and will return to the Potters' midfield for the trip to Ashton Gate on Saturday.
  • Wouter Burger and Tyrese Campbell are both fresh injury concerns for Saturday's visitors after they suffered injuries last weekend.

Prediction

  • Bristol City's momentum took a hit last weekend when a second-half Jamie Vardy penalty condemned the Robins to a 1-0 defeat against league leaders Leicester. Nigel Pearson's side were unbeaten in four league games prior to that defeat and remain on the fringes of the play-off battle.
  • Stoke were the inferior side in every department last weekend as they slipped to a dismal 3-1 home defeat at the hands of Liam Rosenior's in-form Hull side. The Potters have picked up just one point from the last 15 available and manager Alex Neil is coming under a lot of pressure.
