Bristol City and Watford commence this weekend's Championship action as the two sides meet at Ashton Gate on Friday night.
Tuesday's 1-0 loss at home to Lincoln City will have been a bitter pill for Michael Skubala to swallow and the Robins boss will be looking for a reaction from his team after back-to-back defeats.
Bristol City were on a three-match win streak prior to that, and they could climb up to fifth in the Championship table with victory over the Hornets this evening.
Watford are perched two points and four positions below the Robins following a 2-1 defeat at home to Stoke City last weekend.
Alessio Dionisi's men have lost three of their last four league fixtures, and their away form has left plenty to be desired with just one point from a possible nine on their travels so far.
Skubala makes seven changes from the starting XI that was beaten in midweek with Rob Atkinson, Noah Eile and George Tanner returning to the backline.
Joe Williams and Adam Randell complete the midfield, with Jason Knight moving into a more advanced role alongside Sam Greenwood and Yu Hirakawa on the flanks.
Dom Ballard starts in place of Lorent Tolaj up front.
As for Watford, Soumaïla Coulibaly, Omar Toure and Jordan Zemura miss out through injury.
Branimir Mlačić partners Mattie Pollock in the heart of the defence, and it's expected Rocco Vata will accompany Hector Kyprianou in midfield.
Luca Kjerrumgaard starts up front with Stephy Mavididi and Othmane Maamma dropping to the bench.
