Team News

Bristol City
Sunderland
  • Liam Manning will likely recall Taylor Gardner-Hickman and Anis Mehmeti for the visit of Sunderland on Saturday afternoon.
  • Striker Nahki Wells remains a doubt while five players are sidelined for the home side.
  • Mike Dodds could make just one change for the trip to Ashton Gate with Patrick Roberts replacing Abdoullah Ba on the right.
  • The Black Cats will be without five first-team players when they take on Bristol City on Saturday.

Prediction

  • Mark Sykes halved the deficit with his second-half strike on Tuesday night, but Bristol City were unable to avoid a 2-1 away defeat against play-off contenders Blackburn.
  • Liam Manning has endured a turbulent start to life in the Robins' dugout - his side have taken just one point from their last four league matches.
  • Sunderland has teenage starlet Jobe Bellingham to thank in midweek as his 78th-minute goal proved enough to earn them all three points against a high-flying Leeds side.
  • The visitors remain without a first-team manager for the trip to Ashton Gate but have won back-to-back games under caretaker boss Mike Dodds.
