Johnson could stick with winning side
Posted Monday, December 30, 2019 by PA
Bristol City boss Lee Johnson could be in a position to name an unchanged side for the Robins’ New Year’s Day clash with Brentford.
Johnson watched his side get their play-off hopes back on track as they snapped a four-game losing streak with a 3-0 win over Luton on Sunday.
Nathan Baker is expected to miss out again as he continues his recovery from a recent injury.
Jay Dasilva will hope to retain his place after making his first start since August against the Hatters, but Sammie Szmodics is still sidelined with knee ligament damage.
Joel Valencia is pushing for a return to the Brentford starting line-up as they look to recover from their Boxing Day defeat at Millwall.
Boss Thomas Frank had named an unchanged side for the short trip to the New Den and believed them unfortunate not to claim at least a point.
Valencia has twice appeared as a substitute since recovering from a shoulder injury and could earn a recall as fatigue levels continue to mount.
Jan Zamburek is also pushing to start but Sergi Canos and Nikos Karelis (both knee) are set to miss out again.
