THE MATCH<\/strong><\/p>\n Bristol City vs Southampton THE OFFICIALS<\/strong><\/p>\n Referee: <\/strong>Anthony Backhouse WHAT WILL SAINTS BE WEARING?<\/strong><\/p>\n Saints will be in their changed away strip for the trip to Bristol, wearing a yellow and blue striped shirt with blue shorts and yellow socks. The keeper will be in an all-green goalkeeper kit.<\/p>\n LIVE COVERAGE<\/strong><\/p>\n If you can’t make it on Tuesday night the action is on Sky Sports Football, and Sky Sports Main Event.<\/p>\n Selected audiences outside the UK can also watch the action via Saints Play.<\/p>\n Buy a match pass for \u00a310<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n WHAT\u2019S AT STAKE?<\/strong><\/p>\n It’s the first of an away day double header for Will Still’s side this week, visiting seventh placed Bristol City first up on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n Saints have only lost twice so far this season, but will need to find a win soon in order to jump up the Championship table.<\/p>\n Tuesday night’s hosts only sit four points above Saints; victory in favour of the visitors could prove key in the landscape of the season.<\/p>\n TEAM NEWS<\/strong><\/p>\n Still stated post-match that defender Elias Jelert may miss the trip to Ashton Gate following an issue with his thigh which forced him to be substituted against Swansea.<\/p>\n Joshua Quarshie was missing from that matchday squad, with the manager saying “we’ll have to see where he is. We have to manage that but keep pushing on the positives.”<\/p>\n THE MANAGERS<\/strong><\/p>\n Gerhard Struber:<\/strong> “The boys left everything on the field – the belief was we would score a goal and the determination was at an outstanding level and I felt it was only a matter of time (before we scored). We now have to bring our away power to our home games, this is something that should be the next step.”<\/p>\n Will Still:<\/strong> \u201cThe more games the more opportunities we have to go again. Hopefully we play as well as we did on Saturday and are rewarded for what we’re trying to do. We’ll see what the numbers are like, who’s where and who’s what, but I’m sure at some point it will work.”<\/p>\n ONES TO WATCH<\/strong><\/p>\n Emil<\/strong>Riis:<\/strong> Bristol City’s main attacking threat this season, the Dane has four goals in ten games, with three of these coming at Ashton Gate.<\/p>\n Leo Scienza: <\/strong>His mixture of pace, energy and close control provided St Mary’s with an exciting new attacking element on Saturday. Saints fans will hope the entertainment continues away from home, this time with a goal contribution to show for it. <\/p>\n TOP PERFORMERS<\/strong><\/p>\n Bristol City<\/strong><\/p>\n Goals:<\/strong><\/p>\n Riis, Mehmeti 4 Assists:<\/strong><\/p>\n Twine 4 Saints<\/strong><\/p>\n Goals:<\/strong><\/p>\n Armstrong 3 Assists:<\/strong><\/p>\n Fraser 2 FORM GUIDE<\/strong><\/p>\n Bristol City <\/strong><\/p>\n Norwich City (a) SBC: W 1-0 (Sykes) Saints <\/strong><\/p>\n Swansea (h) SBC: D 0-0 HEAD TO HEAD<\/strong><\/p>\n Played:<\/strong> 50 LAST FIVE MEETINGS<\/strong><\/p>\n February 2024: <\/strong>Bristol City 3-1 Saints Championship <\/em>(A Armstrong) KEEP UP TO DATE<\/strong><\/p>\n Not able to make it to the game?
