Latest team news for Bristol City vs Wolverhampton
Bristol City's squad faces a major challenge with Cameron Pring, Sinclair Armstrong, Joe Williams, and Ayman Benarous all unavailable due to fitness issues, while Rob Atkinson has ended his contract and moved to Portsmouth on loan. Manager Manning is uncertain about Rob Dickie's availability as he is recovering from illness, however Kal Naismith and Mark Sykes have returned to training and are likely to feature this weekend. Manning is expected to make some personnel changes, but key players such as Anis Mehmeti, who leads the scoring charts with nine goals, Scott Twine, Jason Knight, and Zak Vyner are likely to retain their starting places.
For Wolves, they will be without Matheus Cunha due to a two-match suspension. In addition, a host of injuries will sideline Toti Gomes (hamstring), Sasa Kalajdzic, Yerson Mosquera, Boubacar Traore, and Enso Gonzalez (all knee injuries). Nelson Semedo (hamstring), Craig Dawson (calf), and Andre (collision) also missed the recent defeat against Forest and will require further assessment before the match begins.
Matt Doherty is the only remaining player from the Wolves squad that beat Bristol City six years ago and could play as a right-sided centre-back or right-back, while it remains to be seen whether new signing Emmanuel Agbadou, who joined from Reims in January for £16.6 million, will get a chance to play.

Latest football match prediction: Bristol City vs Wolverhampton
Bristol City are currently 8th in the Championship after 26 rounds, with 9 wins, 10 draws, and 7 losses. They have earned 10 points in their last 4 matches. The team missed out on a win at the start of the year when they drew 2-2 with Plymouth in injury time, but then beat Derby County 1-0 at home.
Bristol City are unbeaten in their last five home games, winning four and keeping four clean sheets. Manager Liam Manning hopes the team can continue this good form. The Hornets have progressed in four of their last six FA Cup third-round appearances, including two wins against Premier League side Huddersfield and West Ham.
However, Bristol City have failed to win in their last three meetings with Wolves and have lost two consecutive home games. The last time they lost more than two consecutive home games against Wolves was between 1929 and 1965.
Wolverhampton Wanderers have a new manager, Vitor Pereira, who will be available from December 2024. Under Pereira, Wolves have won 2, drawn 1, and lost 1 of their last 4 Premier League matches, including a 0-3 home defeat to Nottingham Forest. Former Wolves player Gibbs-White scored the opening goal for the visitors.
This defeat leaves Wolves just above the relegation zone and marks their 12th loss in the domestic league this season. Pereira remains proud of his players' efforts, but will also be mindful of the difficult schedule ahead. They have a chance to improve their situation in the FA Cup, a competition Wolves have won four times.
Wolves' recent FA Cup record has been inconsistent, progressing beyond the third round only five times in the last ten years. They reached the quarter-finals last season, but lost 2-3 at home to Coventry City. Wolves have reason to hope they don't repeat that slip-up, having won twice against Bristol City in the FA Cup with the same 1-0 scoreline.
