Bristol City vs Crewe Alexandra preview - Robins sweating on Williams

Bristol City will wait on the fitness of Derrick Williams before naming their side to face Crewe.

The Irish left-back suffered a hamstring/groin injury in Saturday's 0-0 draw at home to Gillingham and boss Steve Cotterill says the club's medical staff will assess Williams in the build up to kick-off at Ashton Gate.

Greg Cunningham is on standby to step into the side if Williams does not make it.

The Robins, who have a Wembley date with Walsall on Sunday, have no other injury or suspension worries as they look to build on their 11-point lead at the top.

Crewe will travel with a similar squad to the one which was thrashed 5-1 by Preston at the weekend.

The Alex, who had defender George Ray (ribs) back at Deepdale, could hand striker Uche Ikpeazu a starting spot in their XI after the Watford striker returned to Gresty Road on loan last week.

Ryan Colclough (hernia) played for the Under-21s again on Monday as he inches ever closer to a return to first-team football and Fraser Murdoch (knee) is also back in training too.

Railwaymen boss Steve Davis is hopeful he will have goalkeeper Ben Garratt (broken leg) and Matt Tootle (ankle) available again before the season finishes.
