Bristol City host Derby County at Ashton Gate on Saturday in the EFL Championship, looking to extend their unbeaten run in the competition to four games.
Since their 2-0 loss to West Brom, the Robins won 1-0 against Luton Town and then 3-0 over Portsmouth, before starting the New Year with a 2-2 draw to Plymouth Argyle.
With 34 points in 25 games, Liam Manning's side occupy 10th position in the league table right now, once again falling behind in the race for promotion. But the recent spurt in form holds them in good stead and continuing in the same vein could see them climb further up the charts.
