Lee Johnson poised to take charge of Bristol City for first time
Lee Johnson takes charge of Bristol City for the first time when Ipswich visit Ashton Gate.
Johnson watched on from the stand when the Robins won 1-0 at Charlton last weekend to move out of the Sky Bet Championship relegation zone, and the former Barnsley boss is expected to name an unchanged side against play-off hopefuls Ipswich.
Korey Smith has been troubled by a "niggle" since The Valley victory, according to Johnson, but the midfielder should be fit to take his place in the City team.
On-loan midfielder Ben Gladwin could miss out on a spot on the bench after returning to parent club QPR this week to have an injection in a sore knee.
Ipswich are set to be missing midfielder Cole Skuse for the trip to face his former club because of a toe injury which is expected to sideline him for around six weeks.
Midfielder Giles Coke suffered a knee injury after coming on as a substitute during the 1-0 defeat at QPR, and could be out for a month.
On-loan winger Ryan Fraser has returned to parent club Bournemouth for treatment on a hamstring tear.
Defender Luke Hyam is closing in on a return from his calf problem, while midfielder Jonathan Douglas serves out a three-match ban.
