The Severnside derby returns for the 2019/20 campaign with the Robins heading to South Wales this Sunday lunchtime.
The Bluebirds are unbeaten on home soil in the 2019/20 campaign, in fact only Preston North End have a better home record having played and won one more match so far.
But the Robins have superb away form too, they've lost only once away from BS3 this season and want to head into the November international break in high spirits.
Sunday's match could see Aden Flint and Marlon Pack line up against former teammates, following their respective moves to South Wales in the summer.

Three goals in five minutes turned this game on its head as City recorded a memorable win at Ninion Park.
Graham Kavanagh headed Cardiff in front but Scott Murray scored twice. His first came after a looping pass from Tony Thorpe before a delicate touch to cut inside and he tucked the ball past the goalkeeper.
His second was just as memorable as he cupped his hand to his ear in celebration after squeezing a shot in at the near post.
Matthews then struck a half-volley from close range.
Bristol City XI: Stowell, Carey, Hill, Burnell, Coles, Tinnion, Murray, Thorpe, Peacock, A Brown, Bell.
