Dan, looking at Bristol City and their next fixture, obviously, FA Cup tie against Wolves.
00:07
Now, obviously, the last time these two sides met was all the way back in February 2019
00:11
due to Wolves' rise to the Premier League and Bristol City obviously staying in the
00:16
championship. The last time they met was actually in the exact same fixture, a Cup tie at Ashton
00:22
Gate where Wolves came away as 1-0 winners on the day and they obviously went on in that
00:27
season to reach the FA Cup semi-finals as well. So, I mean, if you looked at it just
00:33
before December when the draw was done, Bristol City would have been absolutely looking forward
00:39
to this with a struggling Wolves side at the time with Gary O'Neill, but now Vito Pereira
00:43
has come in and made seemingly some fantastic changes at Wolves and he's really rallying
00:48
them to hopefully Premier League survival in terms of Wolves fans' concerns.
00:53
Bristol City going to this one, how are they looking at it? It's obviously a Premier League
00:57
opposition, a chance for an upset, but is there bigger fish to fry in terms of their
01:02
championship position?
01:03
Well, yes, I think you are right in terms of bigger fish to fry. Bristol City, they
01:07
are doing well in the championship. They've been inconsistent this season, but overall
01:12
recent performances and results have got them within touching distance of the play-offs,
01:15
so that probably is their priority. They've not been in the play-offs for so many years
01:19
in the championship and so I think that is what they'll be looking more towards, to be
01:25
honest. But it is the chance for a Premier League scalp for a club in the championship
01:30
and that's always something that any club in a lower league will look forward to. As
01:34
you say there, they have played each other before, so perhaps Bristol City will want
01:37
to exact a little bit of revenge on a team who knocked them out only a handful of years
01:41
ago on their home turf as well. I think you are right in saying though that if this game
01:48
had come even just a month ago, Bristol City would have been perhaps even more licking
01:52
their lips at the thought of playing a really struggling Wolves side. But Wolves have had
01:57
that new manager bounce into Vito Pereira and so it's fair to say that it's not going
02:03
to be an easy one for Bristol City. They do have talent in that squad, they do have players
02:07
who can win a match on their own, but so do Wolves. And Wolves' upturn of four has been,
02:13
let's be honest, down to those players that they've got, that quality that they've got
02:18
coming up and making themselves be counted. You look at Matthias Cunha, he's a remarkable
02:25
talent and players like that really are taking a bit of a hold now for Wolves. And you just
02:31
think if they're on song for Wolves at the weekend, you do struggle to see the response
02:37
Bristol City would have in such a game. But all in all, I think Wolves are perhaps the
02:42
favourites going into this one on this occasion, just because of the form that they've shown
02:46
in recent weeks. That's not to discredit Bristol City's recent performances and wins
02:50
because there have been some really good ones and some really good goals they've scored
02:53
as well, but Wolves have that Premier League quality that, unfortunately, Bristol City
02:58
just don't have.
