Bristol City are the visitors to The Fully Charged New Lawn this evening for the first round of the Carabao Cup.
The first ever competitive meeting between the two sides gets underway at 7.45pm.
Here is all you need to know ahead of the game:
What we said:
"If the fans can show the same support that they did on Saturday, it will be a fantastic evening," said Rob Edwards.
"We want to get the supporters going with our performance, work ethic and quality with the ball.
"There's no real pressure or expectation on the game but we know what we're capable of and we'll have a really good go."
What they said:
“We’ve got a very strong side, who didn’t start today (Saturday), which is a really nice position to be in," said Bristol City boss Nigel Pearson.
“It’s not anything to do with not taking the competition seriously, more to do with the fact that the Championship will always be our priority this season and the players who didn’t start today (Saturday), they might have a chance to stake a claim.”
Key Player: Nahki Wells
City signed striker Nahki Wells from Premier League side Burnley for an undisclosed fee in January 2020.
Bermuda international forward Wells joined the Robins on a three-and-a-half year contract, having spent the last season-and-a-half on loan at QPR.
Wells was the R’s top goalscorer in the 2019/20 season with 15 goals in all competitions; 13 in the Sky Bet Championship with an average of one league goal every other match.
The 30-year-old began his career in his home country at Dandy Town Hornets and Bermuda Hogges before a move to the UK and a brief spell at non-league outfit Eccleshill United.
He featured for Carlisle United in the 2010/11 season before going on to score an impressive 53 goals in three-and-a-half seasons at Bradford.
Wells helped The Cumbrians win promotion from League Two in 2012/13, scoring in the play-off final, as well as featuring in the League Cup final of the same campaign.
