Robins will strive to return to winning ways

Bristol City have experienced an unsatisfactory campaign with the possibility of relegation at stake. Liam Manning faces mounting pressure to change the team’s fortune as the team lacks confidence and belief. They are currently 14th in the table with eight points separating them at the moment. They have managed just one victory in the last six matches against Swansea. If they want to turn the season around on a positive note, they must start performing consistently.

Leicester City are currently in the second spot, tied on points with Leeds United with one game in hand. With Leeds back in contention and the possibility of automatic qualification now open, Enzo Maresca will be looking to deliver results on a consistent basis. They will move back to the top of the table with a win over Bristol City.

They have won only one of its last five league matches, which has helped Leeds narrow the gap. As well as losing to Chelsea, they were also knocked out of the FA Cup, but can be proud of the way the lads played.
