Bristol City will welcome Wolverhampton Wanderers to Aston Gate on Saturday.

Lee Johnson, manager of Bristol City looks on before the Sky Bet Championship match between Bristol City and Bolton Wanderers at Ashton Gate on September 26, 2017 in Bristol, England.

According to a report from the Bristol Post, the Robins have received a huge double boost ahead of their top of the table clash with Wolves on Saturday evening, with both Ivan Cavaleiro and Willy Boly both carrying knocks that could prevent them from being fit for the match.

The Black Country outfit have been sensational this season, and currently sit comfortably at the top of the Championship table, although Bristol City are sitting menacingly eight points behind them.

Lee Johnson’s side are arguably the division’s most in-form team, having won five of their last six league outings, and there is genuine optimism emanating from Ashton Gate that this season could be their year.

It will be an extremely tall order for the Robins to catch Nuno Espirito Santo’s big spenders, however, what with the wealth of talent that the Portuguese has available to him.

If Johnson’s men are to have any chance whatsoever of catching Wolves, they will need to beat them on Saturday, and their chances of doing just that have received a huge boost, with the Bristol Post reporting that Cavaleiro and Boly are major doubts or the game.

The top of the table clash kicks off at 17:30 on Saturday, and can be seen live and exclusive on Sky Sports.
