Crystal Palace at Ashton Gate, Rovers in Stockport

Bristol City are looking for their first league win of the season when they take on Crystal Palace this afternoon at Ashton Gate.

Coach Gary Johnson will have to adjust his attack following striker Danny Haynes' sending off against Brentford.

First team regulars Paul Hartley, Jamie McAllister, David Clarkson and Lewin Nyatanga are all available after returning from international duty.

Bristol Rovers meanwhile take on Stockport in their first league game without Rickie Lambert - he was sold to Southampton last week for £800,000, rising to £1m subject to appearances.

Dominic Blizzard is likely to make his debut against his former team, replacing last year's leading goal scorer up front.

The Gas will also be without defender Steve Elliot - who's still ruled out with a thigh injury.
