Keith Millen is predicting a game for the football purists when City head to Crewe Alexandra tonight.

The Railwaymen have long been known for their good passing game, first under Dario Gradi and most recently with first team coach Steve Holland in charge.

And with City also praised for their own passing game, assistant boss Keith expects fans to be in for a real treat in this evening's Carling Cup second round tie (7.45pm).

He told Bristol City World: " Crewe have always played a good passing game and it should be a good one for everyone to watch.

"Dario always had his teams playing good football and he's still there (as director of football) some I'm sure they'll still play that way.

"We had them watched on Saturday when they picked up their first win of the season and they played it on the deck, in a 4-4-2 formation, so tonight should be a good match up.

"We know if we're not on top of our game then we'll be in for a tough evening."

City go into the game on the back of a superb 3-0 away win at Coventry, and Keith added: "We've started really well, unbeaten after four games.

"Last season we started the campaign with a good run of games unbeaten and we want to do that again this time around."

The Premier League's big four enter the Carling Cup in round three so victory tonight could mean a big draw and a money-spinning tie. The draw takes place on Saturday.
