Robins can stifle Eagles
Bristol City added a real physical edge to their play when winning at Crystal Palace and can now battle their way to a draw at home, writes Tony Kelshaw.
The Robins only lost three times at Ashton Gate in the regular Championship season and had a fine record there against the division's top teams.
Neil Warnock will have Palace fired up after some premature celebrations in London, but City can stifle the Eagles.
