■ What is the latest team news? SWANSEA will be without Kyle Naughton who is suspended as a result of the red card he was issued in the 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest.
Mike van der Hoorn is available to start once again having played from the outset in Wednesday’s fixture at the City Ground.

The same applies to Ben Cabango who has had hernia issues, although he could be available to start.
The Swans will once again be without the injured duo of Ben Wilmot and Joe Rodon.
As for the visitors, they will be able to call upon the services of former Swan Ashley Williams who returns from suspension.
The Welshman received a four-match ban as a result of the red card he was given in his side’s 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest last month.
Daniel Bentley is expected to continue in goal for the away side in place of the injured Niki Maenpaa. The Robins are sweating on the fitness of
Kasey Palmer who has not played since the opening day of the month due to a thigh problem.
■ What has Steve Cooper said? “THERE are a variety of things that could happen that can go for and against you,” he said.
“With that in mind, I think it’s very important to concentrate on the two games and get six points.
“That’s what we’re aiming for. It starts with a tough game against Bristol City who have picked up points in the last few weeks. But we have got to aim to take six points, that’s for sure.”
