The Tigers actually appeared to have turned a corner earlier this month, in adding to a three-goal downing of Queens Park Rangers courtesy of a 2nd win on the spin, on this occasion over Cardiff City. A Bristol City outfit in the midst of a stellar stretch of form are set to act as hosts in a Championship meeting with Hull City on Saturday, February 25th. This past weekend, a trip to the Stadium of Light to face promotion-chasing Sunderland saw Bristol emerge with a credible share of the spoils, too, courtesy of a last-gasp spot-kick by way of Nahki Wells.

The Tigers come up against their former manager Nigel Pearson this afternoon.

And though Liam Rosenior wouldn't entertain talk of it when we spoke to him on Thursday afternoon, there will be plenty of players involved who won't have forgotten that in a hurry. Hopefully, the 1,000 or so City fans heading down here to Ashton Gate have wrapped up. He’ll definitely be in the squad. O'Neills will make their strip from now on... Of the 13 games City have left this season, this is one of just three games against sides below them in the table, and if there is to be a play-off surge, you fancy three points here against a side just a point below them is absolutely crucial. He’s a very good player. And there is, of course, the small matter of revenge for that 5-0 drubbing here on the penultimate day of last season. There were one or two knocks picked up in the 4-0 win at Manchester City on Tuesday afternoon, so it remains to be seen how many pull through and make the starting XI. What I’ve seen from him in training and in the two games he’s played for the Under-21s and the one game with us against Manchester City is that he’s a very good player and he’s fit. It is cold, and the wind is biting. Hull City have 13 games standing between them and the end of the Championship season, and if they're to make a move for the play-off pack, then three points here at Bristol City this afternoon are vital. At the start of a busy weekend, City are eight points adrift of sixth-place but mere talk of a surge for the top six is in stark contrast to where things were a few months ago when it looked like

Bristol City v Hull City injury news as both clubs dealt blows ahead of EFL Championship clash at Ashton Gate.

Allahyar Sayyadmanesh is another set to miss out, despite getting himself back out on the grass and training with his teammates. Aaron Connolly however will be out for the foreseeable future after suffering an injury that is worse than was initially thought. Adame Traore will be part of the travelling contingent making the long journey to Bristol this weekend. Pearson provided an update on Kal Naismith, and he is likely to make a return either just before the international break or most certainly after it which is about five games time. The Robins were dealt a blow this week when Rob Atkinson was confirmed to be out for the rest of the season. Advertisement

January loan signings Karl Darlow and Malcolm Ebiowei have been handed their first starts in Hull City colours for the trip to in-form Bristol City.

Adama Traoré is included in a matchday squad for the first time since his summer move having recovered from his long injury lay-off. Regan Slater also comes in as Liam Rosenior makes three changes from the goalless draw against Preston North End. January loan signings Karl Darlow and Malcolm Ebiowei have been handed their first starts in Hull City colours for the trip to in-form Bristol City.

Hull City's winless run extended to four matches following a narrow defeat at in-form Bristol City.

With the match more open, Darlow spilled a shot from distance before Traoré was sent on for his Tigers debut with 12 minutes left but there was to be no equaliser. In a match of precious few opportunities, Bristol City were given a glorious chance to take the lead on 70 minutes when Mehmeti’s cross struck Christie's hand inside the box. That was the Tigers’ only meaningful effort of a first 45 which fizzled out after a lively start from the hosts, with chances remaining at a premium in the second half.

Nahki Wells' spot kick saw Bristol City edge out Hull at Ashton Gate - here's how the Robins fared.

Made an impact when he came on and began to hold the ball up for his side. Showed aggression when running at defenders, fooled Cyrus Christie with a brilliant bit of footwork early on and was a threat when he had the ball at his feet. Played some well-weighted through balls to Scott and Tanner down the right and had a few half chances. Made a couple of key saves in the second period. A lofted in-swinging corner caught O’Leary in no man’s land, and Tettey’s header crashed back into play off the upright. The London buses saying sprung to mind, as following a 469 day wait for a penalty, the Robins were granted two in two matches.
