Bristol City will host Blackburn Rovers at Ashton Gate on Wednesday in another round of the 2023-24 EFL Championship campaign.
The home side are enjoying a good run of form at the moment and are now pushing for a top-half league finish. They held on for a goalless draw away at Sunderland last time out and could have no real complaints about the result after being second-best in attack for much of the game.
Bristol City sit mid-table in the league standings with 54 points from 41 games and will be looking to add to that tally come Wednesday.
Blackburn Rovers, meanwhile, are out of form but remain hopeful of avoiding the drop. Like their hosts, they played out a goalless draw in their last match as they locked horns against promotion chasers Southampton and had a few chances to get on the scoresheet themselves but failed to convert.
The visitors sit 16th in the Championship standings with just 46 points picked up so far.
