Seeking to pick up a fifth home win on the bounce in the EFL Championship, Bristol City play host to Coventry City at the Ashton Gate Stadium on Tuesday.
The visitors, meanwhile, will head into the game seeking to complete a league double over the hosts after picking up a thrilling 3-2 victory back in November’s reverse fixture.
Bristol City returned to winning ways last Saturday as they saw off Middlesbrough 2-1 on home turf.
This was the fourth league victory on home turf for Bristol, who last dropped points at home on December 30, when they lost 2-1 to QPR.
With 40 points from 33 games, Bristol City are currently 16th in the EFL Championship standings.
Like the hosts, Coventry City picked up all three points last time out as they narrowly edged out Barnsley 1-0 on home turf.
They are now unbeaten in three of their last four games, claiming two wins and one draw in that time.
While they have two games in hand, Coventry City are currently 10th on the log with 47 points from 31 games, tied on points with Nottingham Forest.
