Bristol City will host Burnley at Ashton Gate on Saturday in another round of EFL Championship football.
The home side have struggled for results in the league of late and look set to finish in the bottom half of the table for a third straight season. They returned to winning ways last time out with a 2-1 win over Rotherham United and had looked set to head towards one point before Andreas Weimann came off the bench to score a late winner.
Bristol have picked up 56 points from 44 games this season and sit 14th in the league table. They will be looking to add to that tally on Saturday.
Burnley, meanwhile, have enjoyed a brilliant campaign and have already secured promotion to the Premier League. They beat Blackburn Rovers 1-0 in their last league outing, with Manuel Benson scoring the sole goal of the game midway through the second half to register his 10th league strike of the campaign.
The visitors sit atop the league standings with 95 points picked up so far. They will look to build on their latest result when they play this weekend.
