    Bristol City V Leeds United

    Preview
    Bristol City striker Tammy Abraham is expected to shake off a dead leg after being withdrawn at Fulham on Saturday.

    Midfielder Gary O'Neil could be back for The Robins after missing the     4-0 win at Craven Cottage because of illness.

    Leeds full-back Luke Ayling is set to line-up against his former club, after leaving Ashton Gate over the summer.

    Defender Gaetano Berardi will continue his comeback from a hamstring injury in a reserve fixture on Monday.

    Match facts
    • The last City goalkeeper to keep a clean sheet in any competition against Leeds was John Shaw in April 1979.
    • Leeds have won seven of their last eight league games against Bristol City (D1) all since they were promoted back to the Championship in 2010/11.
    • The Robins have conceded at least twice in their last five league games against Leeds at Ashton Gate (12 in total).
    • Tammy Abraham has been directly involved in more goals than any other Championship player this term (8).
    • Leeds striker Chris Wood has scored seven goals in 11 appearances in all competitions this season.

    Back in the late 70's when Bristol City and Leeds United were in the old first division, and nearly every match kicked off at 3.0 on a Saturday, in order to avoid clashes with local rival supporters, all teams were paired by the fixture panel so that local rivals did not play at home at the same time e.g. Liverpool / Everton, Man U / Man C, Spurs /Arsenal, Nottm Forest / Derby, Birmingham / Aston Villa, Newcastle / Sunderland, Norwich / Ipswich etc. The two teams left at the end of the pairing were Bristol City and Leeds. So that is why Bristol City and Leeds never played at home at the same time...
    Not a lot of people know that.

    I've gone for a home win, more in hope than expectation.

    Fielding
    Little Flint Magnusson Bryan
    Reid O'Neil
    Patterson Tomlin Freeman
    Abraham


    I must admit I struggled between O'Donnell and Fielding but Saturdays performance swung me.

    We don't have a great record against Leeds in recent decades!
