Gavin Williams replaces Brian Wilson for City in tonight's clash with Birmingham City at Ashton Gate (7.45pm).

The former Cheltenham Town winger has shin splints, ruling him out of the big clash between two of the Coca-Cola Championship's unbeaten sides.

Gavin was brought on as a substitute for Brian in Saturday's goalless draw at Cardiff, and he deputises again.

Elsewhere City remain unchanged, with Nicky Maynard and Dele Adebola - an ex-Birmingham forward - leading the attack.

Steve Brooker has a slight injury so isn't on the bench. Lee Trundle, David Noble and Marvin Elliott all earn spaces amongst the replacements.

City: Basso; Orr, Carey, Fontaine, McAllister; Williams, Johnson, Skuse, McIndoe; Maynard, Adebola. Subs: Webster, Sproule, Weale, Trundle, Elliott.

Birmingham City: Taylor; Parnaby, Ridgewell, Taylor, Murphy; Larsson, Carsley, Agustien, McSheffrey; Jerome, McFadden. Subs: Kelly, Phillips, Owusu-Abeyie, Bent, Krysiak.

Referee: Mr K Friend.
