Bristol City manager Gary Johnson is set to make just one change from the side that won 3-2 at Barnsley last weekend for the clash with Sheffield Wednesday.

Defender Bradley Orr is struggling with the calf injury that ruled him out of the Barnsley win, so Cole Skuse should replace him at right-back.

Defender Liam Fontaine remains sidelined due to an ankle injury which will keep him out for another two weeks, while midfielder Brian Wilson is a long-term absentee with a shin injury.

City face Brian Laws' men defending an 18-game unbeaten record at Ashton Gate, with their last defeat on home soil coming against Burnley on December 20 last year.

Depending on other results, a win could give the Robins a share of the lead in the Championship.

Sheffield Wednesday will almost certainly be without midfielder Michael Gray for the match.

The veteran sustained a minor hamstring strain in last Friday's defeat at Watford and is likely to miss out.

Richard Wood is expected to be available again after missing the last three matches with an ankle injury, but manager Brian Laws may be reluctant to recall the centre-half, who was this week placed on the transfer list.

Striker Leon Clarke will return after sitting out the last game with a hamstring problem, but Akpo Sodje is nursing an ankle injury.

Francis Jeffers staked his claim for a recall to the starting line-up with a brace for the reserves in midweek, while Richard Hinds, Tommy Miller, Etienne Esajas, Sean McAllister and Frank Simek were also prominent when appearing for the second string and will be hoping to feature on Saturday.
