Bristol City and Sheffield Wednesday bring round eight of the EFL Championship to an end when they lock horns at the Ashton Gate Stadium on Wednesday. The Owls have lost their three away matches in the league this season and will be looking to end this dry spell.
Bristol City turned in a fine show of fighting spirit on Sunday when they fought back from behind to salvage a 1-1 draw against Swansea City at the Swansea.com Stadium.
This followed a 2-1 comeback victory over Oxford United at the Ashton Gate Stadium on September 21 which saw their run of two back-to-back defeats come to an end.
