Bristol City are one of three teams to have six points after the first two weekends of the Championship season, and go into this one on the back of a very impressive 2-0 victory over Stoke City on Sunday.
The Robins won all of their first four games of the season, including two League Cup ties before their 3-0 loss to Aston Villa in the cup on Thursday.
They have conceded just one goal in the league so far and will look to extend this run against Sheffield Wednesday.
The visitors started this season on -12 points after breaching league finance rules last season, but are already on -8 after picking up a win and a draw in their first two Championship games.

The two teams met after the Championship restart post-lockdown in June when Wednesday walked away from Ashton Gate with all three points following a 2-1 win – a result the Robins will be keen to rectify this weekend.

Bristol City vs Sheffield Wednesday Prediction
Both teams have looked good in their opening two fixtures, and this one promises to be no different.
This could be a game for the attackers with very little to split two sides at opposite ends of the table for differing reasons. A high-scoring draw could be the eventual outcome after 90 minutes.
Prediction: Bristol City 2-2 Sheffield Wednesday
