Bristol City will be without captain Wade Elliott for the visit of third-placed Preston North End after the Football Association upheld his red card picked up at Swindon Town.
Robins manager Steve Cotterill, who saw his team's unbeaten record come to an end at the County Ground last weekend, will also be without defender Mark Little (hamstring) and forward Wes Burns (ankle).
Jermaine Beckford must wait to make his first start for North End since joining the club from Bolton Wanderers in midweek.
Preston boss Simon Grayson has instead opted for Joe Garner and Callum Robinson to lead the line for the Lilywhites, who lost their first game in five matches against Bradford City last time out.
City are currently four points clear at the top of the table.
Bristol City: Fielding, Little, Bryan, Ayling, Flint, Williams, Smith, Pack, Freeman, Agard, Wilbraham
Preston North End: Stuckmann, Wiseman, Clarke, Huntington, Buchanan, Welsh, Kilkenny, Gallagher, Humphrey, Robinson, Garner
