Bristol City will face Queens Park Rangers at Ashton Gate on Saturday in another round of the 2023-24 EFL Championship campaign.
The home side have had mixed results in the league this season but remain hopeful of clinching playoff football. They picked up a 3-1 win over high-flying Southampton in their last match with three different players getting on the scoresheet in the second half before their opponents scored a late consolation goal from the spot.
Bristol City sit 11th in the league table with 44 points from 32 games. They are four points behind Coventry City in the final playoff spot and will be looking to reduce that gap on Saturday.
Queens Park Rangers, meanwhile, have struggled for results in the Championship this season and are currently fighting to avoid the drop. They were beaten 1-0 by Stoke City last time out and could have no real complaints about the result after managing just one shot on target throughout the match.
The visitors sit 22nd in the table with 29 points and will be desperate to add to that tally here.
