Championship duo Bristol City and Watford face off at Ashton Gate on Saturday in the third round of the FA Cup.

The play-off chasing duo are separated by just a point in the second tier but must shift focus this weekend as they aim to launch a cup run.

Gerhard Struber will be keen for his side to bounce back from their disappointing defeat to Preston last time out and may hand January signing Sam Morsy his full debut.

Watford head to Ashton Gate on the back of a run of four wins on the bounce, which has taken them up to sixth in the Championship.

The Hornets have fallen at the first hurdle in the FA Cup in five of the last six seasons – a record Javi Gracia will be looking to put right in the West Country.
