Bristol City boss Nigel Pearson:
“It’ll be a really good atmosphere and it’s one in which we need to respond after last week’s game and result.
“These games are very important for us and certainly for our fans but it’s really important that players are able to remain in the moment when they play in derby games. The fact that there will be a big crowd at Ashton Gate will be an added bonus, and it’s one we’re really looking forward to.
“Derby games are about being able to deal with the occasion as much as anything and dealing with the pressure. It would be great to get a double over Cardiff.”
Cardiff City boss Steve Morison:
“There is a little bit extra to these games. We’ve sold out our end, which is to be expected as our fans do that every week.
“As a football player and as a football person, there are obviously games with a bit of extra spice, it’s just about controlling our emotions on the day and making sure you still do your job in the right manner.
“It’s the next one, so it is the most important one. It’s the old cliché. It’s the next game and three points. That’s all we can worry about. We can’t worry about Nottingham Forest next week until Monday.
“We just need to win as many games as we can. Obviously, the performance was decent last Saturday. But the reality is, that always need to be improved upon.
“You do two parts of it well and we need to finish it off. We need to improve the amount of goals we’ve scored. Goals win games of football.”
