    Bristol City defender Eros Pisano (knee) faces a late fitness test having missed the past two matches.
    Midfielder Gary O'Neil faces a further week on the sidelines after receiving injections on his knee.
    Derby County defenders Curtis Davies and Marcus Olsson are both expected to return after missing the EFL Cup defeat against Barnsley.
    Midfielder George Thorne played 90 minutes against the Tykes following his lengthy injury absence and may feature.

    Home win 36% Draw 27% Away win 37%

    SAM, the Sports Analytics Machine,

    Bristol City head coach Lee Johnson
    "It will be a tough game, but they're all tough. We have got serious threats as well, particularly at home.
    "You could have looked at this and said it was a 'September from Hell', but yet we are sat here on four points [from the month so far].
    "It is up to us to dominate and do everything we can to get the crowd going, and in turn get the players going, to get the three points."

    Match facts
    • The Robins are winless in their past eight league games against Derby (D3 L5) since a 2-0 win in April 2011.
    • Derby have scored at least three goals in four of their past five league games against Bristol City (W3 D2).
    • Neither current Robins boss Lee Johnson nor his father Gary have ever beaten Derby County in a league match in eight attempts (D3 L5).
    • Rams midfielder Bradley Johnson has already matched his league goal tally for last season (3 in 33 games) in his first six Championship matches this campaign, including netting a brace against Hull in his last appearance.
    • Bristol City's past five Championship goals have all been from set-pieces - two free-kicks, two from corners and a penalty. By contrast, the past six goals Derby have conceded have come from open play, since Lewis Grabban scored a penalty for Sunderland in their 1-1 draw on the opening day.
    Hard facts
    LOSE and we potentially can drop to 17th
    DRAW and we potentially can drop to 13th or move up to 9th or 10th
    WIN and we potentially can move up to 9th .. so not really an exciting weekend moving up as fixtures are spread.
    last season DERBY WAS OUR 8TH FIXTURE and we came back to draw 1-1 after being down 0-1 at half time
    AWAY Derby was the third game after our losing streak and we drew 3-3 3-0 UP AT HALF TIME[ L 8 . D W D ] Tammy was back!
    last season W 3 D 1 L 3 GOING INTO FIXTURE = 10pts
    THIS SEASON W2 D 4 L 1 = 10pts

    0-1 - 80110x - penalty.
    Game stats look good - apart from the stat that matters.

    Excellent come back. Character shows when you're behind and don't give up....after Wolves and now Derby, things are looking good. Congrats all around I'd say.

    Rowett who?

    Wow - I didn't see that coming.
    Still too early to make a judgement but I'm savouring this and it tastes very nice!

    The best game I have seen City play in many years and we looked good all over the pitch.

    It was a fantastic game, not a dig or nothing as last season showed us a bad run is always round the corner. But a great game to watch.
    Enjoy the sun it's pissing down here

    Top goal scorers in the championship with 15
    Top individual goal scorer in the championship with Bobby Reid with 6
    And just to throw in top goal scorer in the EFL cup with 8...

    Cloud 9 here I come

    This was the best performance since we returned to the Championship

    Am I right in saying none of the team are over 30?

    Fantastic result. Would never have believed us capable of getting 7 points from the last 3 games.

    Well done LJ and the boys. There, I said it !
