Bristol City boss Steve Cotterill again utilised his squad when making five changes to his starting line-up for tonight's Johnstone's Paint Trophy Southern Area quarter-final tie against League Two AFC Wimbledon at Ashton Gate.
Luke Ayling, Greg Cunningham, Wade Elliott and Luke Freeman all dropped to the bench after featuring in Saturday's 2-1 FA Cup first round win at Gillingham, while striker Kieran Agard was rested altogether.
Derrick Williams returned on the left side of a three-man defence, Joe Bryan replaced Cunningham at left wing-back, while Korey Smith came back into midfield.
Up front, Wes Burns was handed a rare start alongside recalled nine-goal top-scorer Aaron Wilbraham.
Having led the line at the weekend, Jay Emmanuel-Thomas was re-deployed in an advanced midfield role with Marlon Pack and Smith detailed to sit deep in front of the defence.
Bristol City (3-5-2): Fielding; El-Abd, Flint, Williams; Wagstaff, Emmanuel-Thomas, Pack, Smith, Bryan; Burns, Wilbraham. Subs: Elliott, Freeman, Cunningham, Ayling, Richards (gk).
AFC Wimbledon (4-4-2): Shea; Fuller, Barrett, Smith, Bennett; Azeez, Bulman, Moore, Nicholson; Rigg, Tubbs. Subs: Francomb, Akinfenwa, Kennedy, Sutherland, McDonnell (gk).
