We don't have confirmed formations or lineups for either side, so we're working on style. Bristol City under their current setup — we're not naming names because we don't have the coach confirmed — tend to want to play through the thirds, get the ball down and move it quickly. At Ashton Gate, they'll look to dominate possession and push Millwall back. The Robins have pace in wide areas and like to get crosses into the box. They'll smell blood after that cup embarrassment.

Millwall are the classic Championship bruisers. They'll sit in a low block, make themselves compact, and dare Bristol City to break them down. They're set-piece kings — long throws, corners, second balls. They'll try to turn this into a dogfight. The key battle will be in midfield: can Bristol City's double pivot keep the ball moving and avoid getting dragged into Millwall's physical game? If they do, they'll create chances. If they get sucked in, it becomes a scrap — and that's Millwall's world.
