    Bristol City v Cardiff City (12:00 BST)

    Bristol City boss Nigel Pearson unsurprisingly keeps changes to a minimum after his side recorded their first win of the campaign in midweek with a 2-0 win over Luton.

    Their only alteration is enforced, with Mark Sykes suspended after he was shown a red card for a two-footed tackle on Luke Freeman in midweek. Joe Williams takes his spot.

    Bristol City: Bentley (c), Atkinson, Naismith, Vyner, Scott, Massengo, Williams, Dasilva, Weimann, Conway, Wells

    Substitutions: O'Leary, Klose, Tanner, Wilson, Pring, King, Martin

    Bristol City v Cardiff City (12:00 BST)

    Good morning. Hope you are well and having a lovely weekend.

    It's a busy day of football today with three Premier League games and an SPL game yet to come, but we begin today with a Championship clash that usually produces fireworks.

    Bristol City v Cardiff City, the Severnside derby, is our appetiser today as both sides look to improve their Championship fortunes.

    Cardiff, who begin the day eighth, will move into second place with a win, while a second win of the season for Bristol City, languishing 20th, could see them leapfrog Steve Morison's side.

    So grab a coffee and a breakfast roll and we will bring you the team news.
