Bristol City's run-in towards the end of the season may be in danger of turning into somewhat of a non-event but Nigel Pearson will ensure his players don't rest on their laurels.
They head to Stoke this afternoon looking to get back to winning ways having failed to pick up three points in their last three matches. On paper, it could be an even contest with City sitting two points behind their opponents as they look to make a charge into the top half.
However, the hosts come into the game in form following a 4-0 victory at Coventry with Alex Neil a nominee for March's Manager of the Month award. City will need to be at their best to secure the points but once again, Pearson will be hampered by a number of injuries and absentees with Kal Naismith, Alex Scott and Tomas Kalas all ruled out.
