Bristol City visit Hillsborough on Saturday to face off with Sheffield Wednesday in the EFL Championship, looking to extend their unbeaten start to the season. In four games so far, the Robins have won and drawn twice each to accumulate eight points in the bag and occupy sixth position on the league table.
After starting their campaign with an epic 4-1 drubbing of Sheffield United, Gerhard Struber's side drew consecutively with Charlton Athletic and Derby County.
Those results appeared to puncture their early momentum, but Bristol recovered to beat Hull City 4-2 in their last league fixture to return to winning ways in emphatic fashion.
During this period, they also marched past MK Dons in the first round of the EFL Cup, but Fulham ended their run in the second by inflicting a 2-0 defeat.
Sheffield Wednesday, though, remain winless in the new Championship season. Back-to-back losses to Leicester City and Stoke City left them pointless after two games, but they produced a comeback against Wrexham to draw 2-2 and earn their first point. Swansea City, though, poured cold water over their celebrations as the Welsh side picked up a 2-0 win in Sheffield.
With a single point in the bag, the Owls are second from bottom in the table, ahead of only their city rivals, Sheffield United, who are the only side to have lost every single game in the league thus far.
