Though the Rams are winless in the second tier, their first two games have been anything but boring. Two stoppage-time goals cost them the points against Stoke City in their opener while they came off on the wrong side of an eight-goal thriller last weekend.

John Eustace has been critical of his side's "softness" and will want to see a stronger display when they welcome the Robins to the East Midlands.

Bristol City are still getting to grips with life under new head coach Gerhard Struber, who has introduced a front-foot and aggressive style of play after his arrival in the summer.

Four points from their first two games has got the Cider Army excited about StruberBall and the Austrian's West Country popularity would rise further if he can help them avenge last August's 3-0 defeat at Pride Park.
