Sinclair will start on the right wing as manager Alan Pardew changes back to a 4-4-2 formation, after 4-5-1 worked a treat against Sheffield United with a 2-0 win.
Sam Sodje starts alongside Paddy McCarthy in defence after a superb performance at Bramall Lane, and Chris Iwelumo will start upfront with Luke Varney.
Possible side for Bristol City: Weaver, Halford, Sodje, McCarthy, Youga, Sinclair, Zheng, Holland(c), Ambrose, Iwelumo, Varney
