Predicted Bristol City line-up to face Birmingham City in the Championship
Bristol City were unable to pick up a win against Millwall in the Championship as both teams played out a 1-1 draw. Lee Johnson’s side were fortunate to go ahead via an own goal but they were unable to hold onto their lead.
The manager now turns his attention to Birmingham City this weekend. They are on the back of a win against Preston and will be confident going into this game. Lee Johnson needs to be wary of a number of potent threats.
