Bristol City vs Preston North End: EFL Championship Live Stream, Form Guide, Head to Head, Schedule, Fixture and Probable Lineups

The 2023-24 Championship season begins with a match at Ashton Gate as Bristol City takes on Preston North End on Saturday afternoon. In the prior season, these two teams were separated by merely four points, with Preston concluding the season in the 12th spot, while their upcoming opponents finished slightly behind in the 14th position.

Bristol City faced consistency issues through most of the last season, settling for a mid-table position. Despite being 15 points clear of relegation, ending 10 points behind sixth place was disappointing. Nigel Pearson aims to bring about change. The Alex Scott situation’s continuation depends on Bournemouth’s willingness to meet the £25m price. Bristol City’s summer has been positive, adding players like Robert Dickie, Rob McCrorie, Haydon Roberts, and Jason Knight to enhance the lineup and squad depth. They had an undefeated pre-season, though against teams up to League One level.

Like his counterpart, Preston manager Ryan Lowe is also aiming to rejuvenate the team for higher aspirations. Following Preston’s inability to handle playoff pressure last season, Lowe has been active in the transfer market. The additions of Liverpool’s Calvin Ramsey and Layton Stewart have generated excitement, and Mads Frokjaer-Jensen could be a notable signing. However, on-field performance has been lackluster lately, with just one win in their last five friendlies. Lowe seeks a reaction from his team after failing to score against Fleetwood Town and Stockport County.

Probable lineups

Bristol City probable starting lineup: O’Leary, Tanner, Vyner, Dickie, Pring, Scott, James, Weimann, Cornick, Wells, Bell

Preston North End probable starting lineup: Woodman, Storey, Bauer, Hughes, Potts, McCann, Browne, Frokjaer-Jensen, Cunningham, Woodburn, Keane
