Team News

Bristol City
Oxford
  • Liam Manning will make at least one change to the side that was hammered by Blackburn with Sinclair Armstrong replacing Fally Mayulu up top.
  • Rob Atkinson and George Earthy are among four injury concerns in the Bristol City camp.
  • Cameron Brannagan suffered a muscle injury during the game against Stoke and will be replaced by Ruben Rodrigues on Saturday.
  • Elsewhere, Des Buckingham has three players unavailable ahead of the trip to Ashton Gate.

Prediction

  • Bristol City had no answer to the attacking threat of Blackburn last weekend, succumbing to a comprehensive 3-0 away defeat against John Eustace's unbeaten side.
  • The Robins have endured an underwhelming start to the campaign and head into this fixture off the back of consecutive league defeats.
  • Idris El Mizouni was the difference maker for Oxford United last time out as his 48th-minute goal proved enough to see off the threat of Stoke.
  • That result proved the final straw for their opponents as they sacked Steven Schumacher, but Des Buckingham is enjoying a feel-good atmosphere following a strong start to life in the second tier.
