Words of wisdom: "Sheffield United will put the ball down our throats and we have to deal with it" – City boss Gary Johnson on tonight's Ashton Gate re-match.

Just a thought: Sheffield United have scored only once in three games since beating City 3-0.

Fancy a flutter: William Hill rate Bristol City 6/5 shots to win with United 9/5 and the draw 11/5. Betfred are laying City at 10/1 to repeat last season's 2-0 victory over the Blades, while a 2-2 draw can be bought at 14/1. Back Dele Adebola to score first at 6/1 with Coral.
