Bristol City v Newcastle United

Bristol City expect their largest home crowd since 1994 for Newcastle's visit.

Defender Derrick Williams (shoulder) is set to miss out, while goalkeeper Frank Fielding and midfielder Korey Smith (both ankle) remain on the sidelines.

Newcastle striker Aleksandar Mitrovic completes a four-match ban, while ankle injuries could again rule out midfield pair Mo Diame and Moussa Sissoko.

Captain Jamaal Lascelles was left out of the midweek win against Reading, with Ciaran Clark making his debut.
