Michael Skubala faces his former employers as Bristol City host Lincoln at Ashton Gate.
The Imps earned promotion to the Championship under Skubala's tutelage last season, storming to the League One title in emphatic fashion. However, Bristol City came knocking and Skubala could not refuse the opportunity to take charge of an established outfit.
Three consecutive victories over Portsmouth, Preston and Burnley alleviated some of the concerns after a slow start to the season, but the Robins will need to bounce back from a 4-1 loss at Southampton last weekend.
Head coach duo Chris Cohen & Tom Shaw have so far managed to ready their side well for life in the Championship and they will leapfrog their opponents should they come away with all three points on Tuesday night.
Their 1-0 away win at Deepdale brought to an end Paul Heckingbottom's reign at Preston over the weekend and they're seeking a fifth-straight unbeaten Championship game when they make the trip down south to Bristol.
Lincoln did come away from Preston with an injury, though. Daniel Oyegoke was forced to leave the pitch after 68 minutes; Dom Jefferies likely to come into the team in his absence.
Striker Freddie Draper scored the winner at Deepdale from the bench and he could have earned himself a place in the XI over Robert Street.
Although Bristol City have no fresh injury concerns, they may still make changes after defeat at Southampton.
Second tier stalwart Jed Wallace is in line for a starting berth in place of Japanese midfielder Yu Hirakawa on the right hand side. Noah Eile is also a potential to replace George Tanner at right-back for the penultimate game before the international break.
Predicted Bristol City XI
Sam Tickle; George Tanner, Rob Dickie, Lisav Naif Eissat, Rio Cardines; Joe Williams, Jason Knight; Jed Wallace, Dom Ballard, Scott Twine; Lorent Tolaj
Predicted Lincoln XI
George Wickens; Dom Jefferies, Deji Elerewe, Sonny Bradley, Andrei Coublis, Adam Reach; Tom Bayliss, Conor McGrandles; Reeco Hackett-Fairchild, Ben House; Freddie Draper
