Norwich City make their second trip of the season to Ashton Gate on Sunday, December 3, to take on Bristol City in the Sky Bet Championship (KO 1.30pm).

Norwich are coming into this on the back of a 3-2 defeat at Watford on Tuesday night. An early double from Danny Batth and Hwang Ui-Jo had the Canaries off to a flyer but the hosts would be back level by the break. Yaser Asprilla's goal in the second half then sealed the three points for the Hornets. **The Opposition** Bristol City are currently sitting in 12th position in the Sky Bet Championship table (prior to Saturday's fixtures), just two places and two points ahead of Norwich in 15th. They fell to a 1-0 defeat at St Mary's Stadium midweek with Kyle Walker-Peters' goal early in the second half giving Southampton the three points. They had won two and drawn one of their three games before that trip to the south coast. **One to Watch
Taylor Gardner-Hickman** Since the arrival of Liam Manning into the hotseat at Ashton Gate, West Bromwich Albion loanee Taylor Gardner-Hickman has turned in some impressive performances in the Robins' midfield. The 21-year-old has a goal and two assists so far this season, and will be hoping that his good run of form can continue.
**The Head Coach
Liam Manning** Norwich native Liam Manning played for the Canaries at Academy level before eventually joining Ipswich Town where he would spend a year as a professional before some time in non-league football. With coaching experience at Ipswich and West Ham under his belt, he joined New York City FC as director of coaching in 2019 before being made head coach of Lommel SK in Belgium. He returned to England with MK Dons, almost bringing them to the Championship, and was at Oxford United prior to joining Bristol City. **Last Time Out** This is the second meeting between the teams this season, having already locked horns in the second round of the Carabao Cup. A Przemysław Płacheta goal secured Norwich's passage to the third round on that occasion at Ashton Gate. Watch the highlights below.

Gavin Ward has been appointed to this fixture alongside assistant referees Lee Venamore and Adam Crysell. The fourth official will be Ollie Yates.
