Bristol City have once again made a strong start to the season and sit 6th in the table under Lee Johnson. They've only lost one game this season but need to turn their draws into more points in order to push for the automatic promotion spots.

They face newly-promoted Luton, who are 18th in the table with quite a weak defence. A good opportunity to pick up three points that could technically see them rise to the top of the table, however that is unlikely. But, it shows how competitive this title race is early on.

Here, we take a look at two tweaks Lee Johnson might want to make for this weekend...

Picking a shape

Johnson's side have started games this season in various formations, usually favouring a three at the back. Luton always use a 4-diamond-2, a narrow formation that allows the full backs to push high up the wings and attack. But, it also leaves a lot of wide space for opposition full backs to push into due to the narrow defence in midfield.

Therefore, Johnson could be tempted to utilise this space and use a formation with wingers instead of his 3-4-1-2 he's used several times this year. A shape that would allow them to overload the wide areas, able to create space for crosses for aerially strong Diedhiou in the middle. Such as a 4-2-3-1 or 4-4-2 which Johnson has used one each this year

He has strong full backs at his disposal in Jack Hunt, Jay Dasilva and Tommy Rowe. They have creative force who have contributed to five goals this season directly.

Utilising Jay Dasilva

The England U21 international made 28 appearances in the Championship under Johnson last season but hasn't been utilised this year. The young full back was brought in permanently in summer from Chelsea following his loan last season.

Although lacking the physicality that Tommy Rowe brings to the left flank, Dasilva brings energy and pace. A strong dribbler who is direct and wants to get forward and create. Rowe is more defensive and isn't as suited to a wing back role. His passing can be quite regressive and lacks creativity in the final third, creating just 0.3 chances per game this season, compared to Dasilva's 1.1 last season.

Bristol's build up play can be quite slow and end up going long to Diedhiou, the injection of Dasilva's speed and energy would be a welcome addition. He likes to overlap and against Luton's narrow defence, could be very effective
