Bristol City Preview – Can the Robins extend unbeaten run to five?
Bristol City were tipped for a season of struggle before a ball was kicked in anger, but the Robins have made a decent enough start. Nigel Pearson’s side have picked up three wins, drawn three times and suffered two defeats.
Bristol City have been in good form since a 1-0 home defeat to Swansea City on 20th August, winning two and drawing two of the following four. Last time out, the Robins picked up an impressive win over Queens Park Rangers at the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium, with Nahki Wells scoring an injury-time winner against his former club.
Bristol City have been proving their doubters wrong so far this season, and victory over the title favourites on Saturday would send out a real signal of intent to their Championship rivals. The bookies have the home win priced at 4/1.
Fulham Preview – Cottagers to hit back with a routine away win?
It has been a strange couple of weeks for Fulham, who head to Ashton Gate having lost three of their past four league and cup games. Prior to that, the Cottagers had won five in a row in all competitions.
Fulham returned from the first international break of the season with a shock 1-0 loss at Blackpool. They responded with a 4-1 win at Birmingham City, though they suffered a surprise 2-1 home reverse to Reading last weekend. The Londoners were then beaten on penalties by Leeds United in the Carabao Cup in midweek.
