Marvin Elliott insists tomorrow's trip to Championship title-contenders West Bromwich Albion holds no fears for Bristol City.

Second only to Newcastle United in the table, Albion are the bookmakers' favourites to bounce straight back to the Premier League.

Roberto Di Matteo's team will fancy their chances of collecting another three- point haul in front of their own fans after thumping Watford 5-0 last time out at The Hawthorns.

Bristol City could be excused if they were daunted by the size of the task, but midfielder Elliott issued a bold rallying call and by claiming he and his team-mates are prepared to take the game to the home side.

He said: "There's no reason to be scared of West Brom. We went to Newcastle and got a point and showed we can match the best teams in this division.

"You can't afford to go anywhere and be afraid in the Championship. We'll respect West Brom but we won't fear them. That would be the wrong attitude to go into the game with. We'll get our foot on the ball, pass it, play our own game and try to take it to them.

"No-one is invincible and we're going there full of confidence after the run we've been on. We're unbeaten in seven games and we believe in ourselves."

Elliott is adamant the prospect of facing Albion's cast of internationals and former Premier League players will bring out the best in Bristol City.

He said: "We know all about their attacking options and the threat they pose and we're going to have to work very hard to try and stop them having any joy.

"Because it's a big game and because the atmosphere will be that little bit more special than in some other games, we'll rise to the occasion and all give a little bit extra. That's human nature.

"It will be a hard game, but they all are in the Championship. We're looking forward to this one and it should be a really good game."

City were out-played and beaten 4-1 on their last visit to The Hawthorns on Boxing Day 2007, but Elliott says that setback will have no bearing on tomorrow.

He said: "That was a bad day for us, but if you look at our team sheet for this game, you will see it's a completely different squad."

City boss Gary Johnson will assess the fitness of striker Alvaro Saborio before selecting his starting line-up, but Bradley Orr is still sidelined, meaning Cole Skuse is expected to continue at right-back.

Liam Fontaine should be among the substitutes.
