Gary Johnson has promised to attack Wolves in their own backyard tomorrow.

The City manager says it would be wrong to sit back against the Coca-Cola Championship leaders at Molineux.

The game also sees the league's leading scorers go up against a City side yet to concede an away goal in the Championship so far this season.

Speaking on Bristol City World, Gary said: "We find ourselves being tested every week, and we also test the opposition. But this is a big test.

"Wolves have started brightly, with players top of the goalscoring charts. Even with (Chris) Iwelmumo suspended, they've got Sylvan Ebanks-Blake, Andy Keogh, Sam Vokes and Michael Kightly banging in the goals.

"It's an exciting game and we'll have to cope with the big atmosphere at Molineux, using it to our advantage if possible. We shouldn't be frightened of the challenge.

"Both teams will have momentum during the game and we've got to make sure that we're not the team that sits back letting the opposition attack us, trying to hold out.

"We've got to attack them on occasions because if you try and hold out at Molineux something will happen. They'll get a little bit of luck, a deflection and then suddenly you're one down having to change your whole mentality.

"We always go to places to try and win the game. There will be times when we've got to defend, but hopefully there will also be times when we'll be getting at them as well."

Gary must choose between Chris Weale and Adriano Basso between the sticks, while Brian Wilson is fit again after a shin injury. However, Steve Brooker (Achilles) and Jamie McCombe (cheek-bone) continue to be sidelined.

Meanwhile, Gary won't be making the same mistake again after losing his bet with Liam Fontaine at Molineux last season.

The defender netted his first goal in more than 100 appearances against Wolves ten months ago, following comments that his manager made about 'baring my backside in Burton's window'.

The press were quick to bring this up once more with another visit to Molineux looming - and the opening of the new House of Fraser in Cabot Circus, Bristol.

"I visited Cabot Circus for the VIP opening and it looked very nice," he said. "I'll bare my backside in House of Fraser window has a good ring to it, doesn't it? It's a very big window, for a big..." added the boss, before quickly leaving it there and finishing his pre-match press conference!
