Preview | Bristol City v Swansea City

Swansea City travel to Bristol City this afternoon hoping to continue their unbeaten run in the Championship (12.30pm kick-off).

Luke Williams’ side will be looking to build on seven points out of nine from games against Sunderland, Blackburn Rovers and Watford, while the Robins are looking to end their run of four defeats.

Team News

Luke Williams confirmed he has no new injury concerns ahead of this afternoon’s match.

Players who have recently returned from injury - including Jamal Lowe - came through Wednesday evening’s match at Watford, while Harrison Ashby is making good progress.

Liam Walsh, Sam Parker and Josh Ginnelly are all sidelined.

Pre-match views

Luke Williams: “We need to make sure we remember to concentrate and focus on everything that makes a good performance, and hopefully come away with the points and the bragging rights, which would be the perfect way to end the week for us.

“They have a really modern-thinking manager, they will be organised and have several different tactics to cause problems for us when we have the ball and when they have the ball.”

Liam Manning: “Compliments to Luke with the way they play. In the first half against Watford they had really good control of the ball. We know they’ll want the ball and they’re shifting in style back towards what they’re renowned for.”

Meet the officials

Matthew Donohue will be the man in the middle this afternoon. He will be assisted by Paul Hodskinson and Lee Venamore. Stephen Martin is the fourth official.

Remember the last time?

Olivier Ntcham’s superb volley saw Swansea City return with a hard-fought point from their last league trip to Ashton Gate.

The Swans had trailed to a Tommy Conway strike at the interval, and spent most of the second half pressing for a leveller.

And Ntcham got it as the substitute dispatched a fizzing strike into the bottom corner of the net for his fourth goal of the season.

5 -  The Swans have a good recent record at Ashton Gate, avoiding defeat in their previous five visits.
