Bristol City are fifth in the Championship and in with an outside chance of winning automatic promotion to the Premier League. That has to be their main aim of course but reaching the quarter-finals of the FA Cup wouldn't be too bad either, though it is a distraction. City are unbeaten in their last 15 league and cup games with each of their last nine games being won. That run nearly ended in midweek as they needed a controversial late goal to get a 2-1 win at home to QPR. Bristol City have won their last six at home and are unbeaten in nine. A current form table for the past 15 Championship games has them top of the table, so this won't be an easy game at all for Wolves.

The Premier League side will be hoping to avoid becoming the second top-flight team to lose at Ashton Gate this season. Huddersfield Town lost away to Bristol City in the third round but Wolves are a lot better side than them. Wolves drew at home to Newcastle United on Monday and remain seventh in the table, a position that could get them into the Europa League next season. They are nundefeated in their last six league and cup games and beat Liverpool in the third round of this competition. It wasn't so easy in the fourth round as they needed a replay to get past Shrewsbury Town. They will play a weakened side and the tip here is for the tie to end in a draw over 90 minutes.
