Bristol City midfielder Korey Smith will miss the League One leaders' trip to Coventry City after failing to shake off a hamstring injury picked up at Chesterfield last weekend.

His place in the starting lineup goes to Marlon Pack, which means that Wes Burns, who scored the match-winning goal against the Spireites in that game, is named among the substitutes for Steve Cotterill's men.

John Fleck misses out for the hosts with a groin strain while Jack Finch is suspended for the visit of the Robins after being sent off in the 2-1 defeat away to relegation-threatened Crewe Alexandra seven days ago.

In all, Coventry boss Steven Pressley makes four changes to his team with Adam Barton given his first start of the season for the Sky Blues.

Coventry City: Allsop, Phillips, Willis, Webster, Clarke, Pugh, Barton, O'Brien, Coulibaly, Jackson, McQuoid,

Bristol City: Fielding, Little, Ayling, Flint, Williams, Bryan, Pack, Elliott, Freeman, Agard, Wilbraham
