Bristol City 1-1 Cardiff City live: Chris Martin provides instant response after Collins opener - Bristol Live

Hello and welcome to today's live match blog! It's derby day at Ashton Gate and the first fixture between Bristol City and Cardiff in front of fans in BS3 since November 4, 2017.

The last two dates - a 1-0 loss which led to the dismissal of Lee Johnson and a 2-0 defeat which was only three matches removed from Dean Holden leaving the club - were behind closed doors due to Covid, and the season before that the Bluebirds were playing in the Premier League.

That sense of longing to see this game should only add to the atmosphere as we're expecting the biggest crowd of the season so far with more than 21,000 expected.

It's a huge game beyond the emotional reasons as well with the Robins needing three points to move on from the hammering at Fulham last weekend.

We'll be bringing you all the build-up, team news, action, reaction and analysis from Ashton Gate, so keep an eye on below for updates
