    Bristol City v WBA

    Bristol City midfielder Korey Smith, who recently returned from a long-term knee injury, will be assessed before the visit of West Bromwich Albion.

    He did not feature against Wigan on Saturday, while Andreas Weimann (foot) is almost certainly out.

    West Brom defender Ahmed Hegazi is suspended after his red card in the 2-0 loss at Millwall on Saturday.

    But Craig Dawson has recovered from illness and should be fit to play.

    Match facts
    • Bristol City have won one of their last nine matches against West Brom in all competitions (W1 D3 L5), a 2-1 win in February 2010.
    • West Brom's last visit to Ashton Gate against Bristol City was in the FA Cup in January 2016, winning 1-0 in a third-round replay.
    • Bristol City have lost just three of their last 21 league matches (W11 D7 L3) since losing four in a row in November.
    • West Brom striker Dwight Gayle has scored three goals in three league appearances against Bristol City, scoring once in each match for three different teams (Peterborough, Newcastle and West Brom).
    • Nathan Byrne's equalising goal for Wigan against Bristol City (93:00) in their last match was the latest league goal conceded by the Robins since Ryan Bennett's winner for Wolves in December 2017 (93:42).
    • West Bromwich Albion have lost two of their last three away league games (W1 D0 L2), having won eight of their previous nine before this run (W8 D0 L1).

    Shame Semenyao isn’t on the bench as I would bring him on for Fammy.

    Oh my dear I just saw the score at 3-2 so please hang on City because to give up a 3-0 lead would be a shame.

    Another great 3 points. 3 I didn’t think we would get before the game tbh. We are in a very strong position to make the play offs now. Huge game vs Villa on Sat.
    Worried that playing twice a week for 3 weeks straight may be too much for some, Fammy, Brownhill and Pack looked very tired late in the second half.

    Tremendous City performance by City and I disagree that Fammy should have been subbed. Thought he did a very difficult job against top Championship defenders. Looks a bit ugly but I'll bet his teammates and LJ appreciate the role he played.
    Well done Fammy and City.

    Another good result - a shame Da Silva's shot hit the post as this could have been a walloping rather than a close-run thing.

    Hopefully this means we'll hit the playoffs and in good form. One of Leeds, Sheffield United & Villa will be favourites but we can dream...

    Villa need to get points on the board as they’ve got Leeds then Norwich as their last two games. They go to Rotherham tomorrow fighting for survival so hopefully they make them sweat and knackered.
    Our games don’t look that great as out of the six four are away.

    Great win!
    Had my phone on a stream whilst having a meal in a nice restaurant in Budapest - couldn’t resist it (on ‘silent’ though with respect to other customers!!!)
    Why can we beat the top teams but drop points against the struggling sides?

    Boom what a great result tonight.
    Cracking atmosphere.
    Desilva,Webster,Baker,Fammy top displays.
    Get a point at Villa Saturday that will put us with one foot in the playoffs.

    Thought the players were excellent tonight, put a massive shift in......nervy last 20 mins but hung on well.....Agree Fammy played very well as did Desilva and Webster......thumbs up to Matty Taylor at the end, just to play it out for time..
    10 out of a possible 12 points looks good......Villa up next, gonna have everything crossed for that one!!
