Bristol City predicted XI v West Brom: Robins set for double switch as Burnley loanee to make comeback

The Robins travel to The Hawthorns on Saturday

Bristol City will go in search of back-to-back victories when they take on West Bromwich Albion at The Hawthorns on Saturday.

The Robins narrowly defeated Swansea City last time out thanks to Rob Dickie's second half header, which ended a run of four consecutive defeats.

The Swans win boosted Liam Manning's side into 13th place in the table and stretched their gap to the relegation places, which has eased any concern of City being dragged into a late survival scrap.

Scott Twine has trained this week and will be a welcome return to the squad, following his absence since his debut against Watford.

George Tanner has also recovered from a knee problem and will be available for Manning, however, Kal Naismith has suffered an injury setback and will miss the match.

City will face no easy task against the Baggies, who are in the play-off places with nine league matches to play.

West Brom are unbeaten in their last five matches and come into the match after a 4-1 win against Championship strugglers Huddersfield Town.

The Robins will need to pay close attention to Brandon Thomas-Asante, who has netted 10 goals this campaign.

Likewise, John Swift, who is an influential figure for Carlos Corberan's outfit.

The last time these two met, they played out a 0-0 draw at Ashton Gate in September, and both will be hoping for all three points this time around.

Here's how I think the Robins will set up...
