What is the latest team news?

Callum Robinson has been ruled out until after the international break after picking a recent hamstring problem.

Sabri Lamouchi has confirmed that Ebou Adams is unlikely to play again this season, while Jamilu Collins is similarly sidelined for the forseeable future.

Tommy Conway returned to training with the Robins this week, but it remains to be seen whether he'll be risked.

Kai Naismith (calf), Rob Atkinson and Ayman Benarous (ACL) are all out.

What have the managers said?

Sabri Lamouchi: "We're very focused for the derby. For our fans, for the club, for the people here, it's really important, so we've been really focused in the training sessions on coming back with the right mentality.

"I'm happy because we won against Birmingham and Reading - they were two games to win. So now we move on, to look forward and think about Bristol.

"I watched the game against Manchester City, and I was impressed by the performance from Bristol. They played well, they have a good squad, a young squad and a good manager with a lot of experience.

"They were well organised, with good quality and good individual players. It was a different competition, a different team and a different context. The players know that, as well."

Nigel Pearson: "We need to make sure that we don't compromise our standards in any game here on in. We've worked really hard since the turn of the year because we were under pressure to find results and people were asking questions of us as a side and obviously me as a manager and I think collectively we've had a positive response too.

"We need to see how good we can be between now and the end of the season. There is potential for us to push for a play-off position but you can't blow hot and cold.

"The Championship is relentless. The threshold for success or lack of a wide margin for error is just not there."

Cardiff City 6/5

Draw 23/10

Bristol City 23/10
