Prior to the defeat against Villa, City had won four games on the spin, including two wins from two in the Championship.

Bristol City manager Dean Holden said: “It’s now all about the league and a positive response is needed. It’s always about what we do next, recovery is big now and Sheffield Wednesday played on Wednesday so they have an extra day but it’s not too big a deal, as long as we recover properly and attack the game as we did in the previous four.”
