If there was any danger of a post-Manchester City comedown, then the prospect of a Severnside Derby is enough to create suitable levels of excitement, and hopefully euphoria, at Bristol City as the Robins return to Championship action with a short trip along the M4.
Tuesday night under the lights at Ashton Gate made for a special and memorable occasion but defeat proved of little consequence, given City’s status as huge underdogs and the relative importance of the FA Cup compared to the league campaign.
That certainly won’t be the case today as City will be looking to maintain their momentum in the Championship with the prospect of finishing the day in the top half of the table, while with a packed away end roaring them on, it makes the obligation to claim three points even greater.
