    Bristol City defender Bailey Wright could make his first appearance of the season after a thigh injury.
    Striker Matty Taylor remains out with a hip flexor problem but goalkeeper Frank Fielding has resumed full training.
    Norwich midfielder Moritz Leitner can play 45 minutes for the Championship leaders after a calf injury.
    It is hoped captain Grant Hanley will overcome an eye problem to feature, though fellow centre-back Timm Klose has not recovered from a knee injury.

    Bringing 3 of my mates up from Dorchester today.

    One of them is a Norwich fan - so they are going to sit together in the away end.

    I saw Norwich earlier in the season at Bournemouth in the League Cup - they lost that night but were very impressive

    PS - their tuneless dirge called "on the ball City" must be one of the worst songs in football!!!

    VERY unlikely, but the right results today could see us on the cusp of top 8 come 1930 tonight and maybe even going into 2019 fluttering around the top 6!
    11 pts above the drop we need another 22 points to be safe ....... my first target, if we were ding better is always 51 / 52 pts on the board relax time !

    GOAL: Bristol City 2-1 Norwich
    Callum O'Dowda

    Bristol City have turned the game on its head!

    Republic of Ireland winger Callum O'Dowda, recalled to the side today, gets clear down the left-hand side and surges into the box.

    Cristoph Zimmermann tries to get back to him but, as O'Dowda lashes a fierce strike towards goal, can only deflect it in via the underside of the crossbar.

    A little disappointed, but you can't argue with the quality of the Norwich goals.

    An excellent result against a very good Norwich side and, although 3 points would have been nice, a fair result.

    More importantly we looked much better today, if we can keep that form up we’ll be fine . With a bit more belief we could have won the game, we started to drop too deep at 2-1 up.

    A good point , although being 1 up with 20 mins to go it still feels a bit disappointing at the moment.
