Villa, in the West Country for a second successive game, look to be heading to another victory before "rhythm" or complacency allows City back in to earn a point.
Ron Saunders' Villa stop a run of two league defeats to make it one win, one draw and two defeats in four division one games this season.

“Continual stoppages affected the rhythm of play and stopped the lads from concentrating.
"Don't forget we are carrying four players, Andy Gray, Brian Little, Alex Cropley and Frank Carrodus who are still getting over injuries.
"And John Gidman is still out but I am hoping that he will he available next Saturday."
Ron Saunders.
