BBC Sport at Ashton Gate

There was a brief moment for applause before we got under way at Ashton Gate for Bristol City stalwart Zak Vyner this evening, who is setting a new club record for appearances in Championship in this match against Southampton.

The 28-year-old is playing his 219th match in the second tier for the club he joined at the age of 10.

Robins technical director Brian Tinnion said last week that Vyner has been offered a new contract to stay, after they turned down an offer from Wrexham for him in the summer.

The defender has been busy during these first minutes as Saints have started fast and are attacking the City goal.
