As things stand ahead of today's later games, Bristol City will move up to third - a point behind Cardiff in second.

Cardiff are yet to have a shot on target at the 30-minute mark. Lee Johnson really is doing a brilliant job this season.

It could be 2-0 to Bristol City, but Cardiff keeper Neil Etheridge does really well to keep out a flick-on from Milan Djuric from Callum O'Dowda's free-kick.

He's needed again soon after, keeping out Joe Bryan's volley. Robins are dominating now.

Another beautiful goal to add to the collection for Bristol City this season.

But I have one small gripe: Callum O'Dowda's goal celebration GIF really isn't up to scratch, when compared to some of the other silly ones we've seen this campaign.

Must try harder Callum.

We mentioned in the team news that Bristol City would be without defender Eros Pisano today because of a hamstring injury.

But it's worse than that, with the club confirming that the 30-year-old Italian could be out for up to four months.

Cardiff, in true Neil Warnock style, look to be targeting Bristol City at set pieces, but the Robins have dealt with Callum Paterson's long throws so far.

No clear-cut chances yet.

A couple of half-openings for both sides.

First Milan Djuric looks to slide in Bobby Reid, but goalkeeper Neil Etheridge is out quickly to claim. Cardiff respond, but Sol Bamba can't get a shot off from Joe Ralls' deep corner.

With all the crashes and bangs outside over the last few evenings, you're no doubt fully aware that it's Bonfire Night this weekend.

So we're going to be really original and ask you for your Bonfire Night themed footballers.

Portsmouth fans, for example, will no doubt remember Guy Fawkes Whittingham.

Real blow for Cardiff as winger Nathaniel Mendez-Laing is replaced by Liam Feeney. He couldn't shake off the knock.

Bristol City will surely look to isolate him now. He'll have to be careful.

This is the sort of game Neil Warnock relishes. Never mind the usual managerial cliche of keeping a cool head in the so-called Severnside derby.

Warnock is different, telling BBC Radio Wales: "In derbies, you can't say 'calm down'. You've got to feel the passion. Managers feel it, the fans get up."

Cardiff have not lost to any of the other sides in the current top eight this term, and Warnock did the double over the Robins last season. His reign started with a 2-1 home win over Bristol City with Lee Tomlin netting for the visitors.

The fact that Tomlin moved to Cardiff in the summer adds another ingredient to a really tasty derby brew.

Nathaniel Mendez-Laing takes an early knock, but looks fine to continue for now.

There's a good atmosphere - as you would expect - at Ashton Gate today, which both sets to fans buoyant after their excellent starts to the season.

Matches between Bristol City and Cardiff are games to look forward to. In my time at BBC Radio Bristol, Cardiff have had the upper hand - but on this occasion the game comes with even more added spice.

Bristol City have been in impressive form, and Lee Johnson will be looking to close the gap on their Severnside rivals towards the top of the table.

From his time as Crystal Palace boss, Neil Warnock has enjoyed a rivalry with the red half of Bristol. And this weekend sees the return of Lee Tomlin, who interestingly returned to Cardiff's starting line-up on Tuesday. He will be desperate to start again against his former club.

For Bristol City, it's a real test of their credentials - but on the evidence of their most recent victory at Fulham, they have every chance of beating Cardiff for the first time in five years.

And we're off. Bristol City, in their traditional home strip of red, face the Bluebirds.

The hosts have been playing some stylish football of late, while Neil Warnock's side are known for their combative nature. Which will come out on top? We're about to find out.

If you live either side of the mouth of the River Severn then feel free to tune in to either BBC Radio Bristol or BBC Radio Wales to listen to commentary of the game.

Unfortunately, rights restrictions mean we can't bring you those commentaries online.

But if you can't listen in then stick with us - we've got all this afternoon's Championship action covered.

Who's ready for a Severnside derby?

The players certainly are - they're out on the pitch and raring to go. Plenty to play for in this one at the top of the Championship.

Neil Warnock makes one change to his side, bringing in midfielder Craig Bryson for former Bristol City man Lee Tomlin, who is dropped to the bench.

That means Omar Bogle keeps his place up front after scoring his first Bluebirds goal in the 3-1 victory over Ipswich on Tuesday.

Cardiff: Etheridge, Peltier, Manga, Morrison, Bamba, Paterson, Ralls, Bryson, Hoilett, Mendez-Laing, Bogle.

Subs: Murphy, Tomlin, Ward, Feeney, Halford, Connolly, Damour.
