Bristol City host West Brom at the Ashton Gate Stadium in the EFL Championship on Boxing Day as both sides look to recover from their latest setbacks.
The Robins saw their three-game unbeaten run in the league end following a 2-1 loss to Stoke City, who fought back from a goal down.
Nahki Wells put the home side in front but Liam Delap equalized in first-half stoppage time, before Jacob Brown scored the winner for the Potters in the 57th minute.
With 27 points in 23 games, the defeat left Bristol in 18th position in the league standings, just three points clear of the relegation zone.
West Brom, meanwhile, saw their five-game winning run end after going down 1-0 against Coventry City on Wednesday, 21 December. Head coach Carlos Corberan tasted just his second defeat as the Baggies' permanent manager.
Steve Bruce was sacked in October after winning just one of their opening 13 matches as the Baggies were mired in the relegation zone.
