Bristol City and Hull City get the ball rolling in round 23 of the EFL Championship when they go head-to-head on Friday.
Liam Rosenior’s men have lost their last four visits to the Ashton Gate Stadium and will head into the weekend looking to end this poor run.
Bristol City returned to winning ways last Saturday when they scraped a narrow 1-0 victory over Sunderland on home turf.
Prior to that, Liam Manning’s side were on a four-match winless run, losing three and picking up just one point from a possible 12 in that time.
The Robins have now won eight of their 22 Championship matches so far while losing nine and picking up five draws to collect 29 points and sit 14th in the league table.
Meanwhile, Hull City picked up successive wins for the first time since October when they edged out Cardiff City 3-0 last weekend.
This followed a 2-1 comeback victory over Middlesbrough on December 13 which saw their two-match losing run come to an end.
With 36 points from 22 matches, Rosenior’s side are currently sixth in the EFL Championship table, level on points with fifth-placed West Bromwich Albion.
