Bristol City Preview

Bristol City Predicted Line-up - Max O'Leary; George Tanner, Zak Vyner, Luke McNally, Cameron Pring; Joe Williams, Jason Knight, Scott Twine, Yu Hirakawa, Anis Mehmeti; Sinclair Armstrong

Despite a disappointing result midweek against Sheffield Wednesday, Bristol City’s performance against the Owls was largely promising.

They look strong in all areas of the pitch and have the potential to finally push for a play-off spot this year.

Scott Twine’s technical prowess will be vital if they’re to pull off the result they’re looking for.

Cardiff City Preview

Cardiff City Predicted Line-up - Jak Alnwick; Perry Ng, Calum Chambers, Dimitris Goutas, Joel Bagan; Alex Robertson, Joe Ralls, Ollie Tanner, Rubin Colwill, Anwar El-Ghazi; Callum Robinson

Despite a 1-0 win over Millwall in their last game, Cardiff have looked pretty poor in the start to the season, and look in serious danger of relegation to League One.

Ollie Tanner is expected to return to action despite taking a knock in their last game.

Alnwick will be key in goal, since they’ll likely be up against it against Bristol City.
